Anybody ever tried putting an interactice slideshow on the web?
(with hyperlinks and actions settings)
Is this possible, can it be done?

Yes, and in several ways. Each has its limitations and peculiarities.

Have a read starting here:

WEBifying your PowerPoint
http://www.pptfaq.com/index.html#name_WEBifying_your_PowerPoint

C'mon back with any questions you have afterwards.

Be sure to think about/let us know stuff like:

What version of PPT do you have?

Does your audience have PowerPoint, and if so what version?
If they don't have PPT, can you ask them to download and install a free Viewer?
Does your audience have special accessibility needs?

What type of links do you plan to include? Sounds, movies, buttons that go to
other slides in the same show? Links to other files like PDFs, other web
sites, etc.

And all the other important stuff I've forgotten to include <g>
 
I read those articles- they really don't address my situation...
I have a game show- with sounds animations, hyperlinks, action settings.....
I need that to run from a website- not that people can downoload hte file
and then view it on their own powerpoint systems. I want it to run from
within the website...

PPT files linked to on a web site WILL be downloaded for local viewing.
That's how web browsers work.

If you don't want that, you'll need to convert to HTML or some other format, and
the various articles under that link explain that and other options.
 
I do not want people downloading it then viewing it locally on their own
computers-
i want it embedded into the website-
when you convert to html- do the hyperlinks and actions setting and sounds
still work?

Can't be done with a PowerPoint file.

With PPT's own HTML output, the hyperlinks/action settings should work. I'm not
certain of the sounds. It costs nothing to try it yourself, though. I'd certainly do
that. Save as a web page and upload the results to your site.

Again, one of the links I pointed you to earlier will explain how to do that.

If PPT's own HTML doesn't suit you, there are other approaches.
