Scenes built with MXinƒerno™ can be used in Microsoft^® PowerPoint^® presentations without modification. There are two ways to insert a published Flash movie clip (.SWF file) created with MXinƒerno™ into PowerPoint^®.

Method 1

FutureFD.com recommends using the GlobFX "Swiff Point Player 2.0" plug-in, which is a FREE plug-in for Microsoft^® PowerPoint^® that enables easy insertion of Flash movie clips (.SWF files) into your PowerPoint^® presentation. You may download the plug-in by clicking on the Attachment (located in the box to the right) "SwiffPoint20.exe." The plug-in is easy to use, and displays simple instructions for use at the conclusion of the installation.

If you choose to use the "Swiff Point Player 2.0" plug-in, it must be installed on any computer used to view your completed PowerPoint^® file in presentation mode. The plug-in is FREE and may be installed on as many computers as you like. You may get more information about the plug-in from the GlobFX web site.

Method 2

The second method to use Flash movies in PowerPoint^® uses Macromedia's ActiveX Flash player. This method is not as intuitive or easy to use, but it offers the advantage of full control over the Flash movie and Macromedia's Flash player within PowerPoint^®. If you need specific control of the Flash player during your presentation (e.g. auto playback, looping,quality, scaling, etc.), you will have to use this method.

A detailed description of how to insert a Flash movie clip (.SWF file) into PowerPoint^® using the Macromedia ActiveX component can be found in the Macromedia Flash TechNote "Using Flash movies in PowerPoint 2000." The same method also works in later versions of PowerPoint^®.
