Putting Powerpoint Show on Web page

I am a teacher, trying to put my students powerpoint projects on the web.
They all contain a small flash movie. I had them save the powerpoints as
Powerpoint Shows. They also saved their flash movies. I uploaded both
separately to a web page. The flash movies play separately fine. However I
can't get the PPS files to play at all on my home computer. At school, they
played up to the flash movie, then on each page after that I got a dialog box
asking me if I wanted to save the changes.

I'd really appreciate it someone could look at it to see what the heck I can
do to fix it. Here's the URL
http://www.allisonwebcreations.com/stock_market_projects/stocks_7a.html

Only the first two students' files are on the server. Try those.

Thanks so much!
 
Dear Jane:
For your questions:
A .pps file can't play directly in a webpage.
If you want to embed it to webpage to let it play directly.
You have to convert it to other formats such as Flash (SWF), WMV, or Flv.
of course you can save your ppt file to html but in this way all transitions
would be losed.
If you convert the pps file to video file such as wmv and flv, you will lose
the feature in PowerPoint to control the presentation play slide by slide.
My suggestion:
Convert the PowerPoint to Flash can completely obtain the PowerPoint slide
show features.
you can set the result flash playback manually by mouse click or
automaticlly when click "Play"

We'd like to suggest our products PPT2FLASH professional and standard
edithion to you to have a try. We'll be glad to receive your feedback if you
have any questions or suggestions.

I don't need the files embedded in the page. I have a link to the pps file
which should open them (I believe). I actually saw your software on the web
and tried it, but I found the fonts did not convert well & the text was all
over the page.

To make things more entertaining, I got several other reactions here. On one
computer the flash movies play ok from your site but when I open the PPT I get a
macro warning (because of the embedded flash control), and then it tells me that
it may not be able to play all of the slides correctly because one or more of
them contains a control that's not registered on the computer. Then it opens
the PPT in edit mode instead of slide show.

Unfortunately this isn't unusual. Putting PPT/PPS files on the web directly is
a game of chance at best.

What I'd look at first is how you added the flash movies to the presentation.
Also, what version of the shockwave control is in use.
Looks like version 9 was used for the presentation ...

YO AUSTIN !!

I think maybe Austin knows something about this but there may be
incompatibilites with this version of the shockwave player.
 
Thanks for your help. I'd be happy if the Powerpoint would just open up and
show without the flash movies working. I couldn't get the Flash to work
inside the Powerpoint on the web, so I made the second link to open the Flash
movies directly. I don't think the presentations worked even if I disabled
the macros.

If that's the case, the best bet may be to convert the PPT files to HTML and post
that instead. The post from jrhx isn't entirely correct about that, btw. You don't
lose transitions/animations if you set the web publishing options correctly (though
it's true that you won't get animations/transitions in all browsers). I would
certainly give that a spin with one or two of your students' presentations.

As to the flash object, it's embedded in a Shockwave Version 9 control. I've got an
earlier version of the control here, and if I insert, say, Alex_s.swf into a
different PPT using it, it plays fine. That's why I was yelling for Austin ... he's
our resident Wizard for Things MultiMedia.

We also have an add-in that helps in making HTML from PPT. There's a way to get it
to embed Flash from the slides into the resulting HTML; a bit geeky but it works.
Not sure whether it'd fit your budget (my wife's a teacher ... I know how these
things go ... sometimes it's a question of "Budget? What's that?") but the demo's
free: http://www.pptools.com/ppt2html/

But try PPT's own HTML first. No sense spending time and money when "Free" will get
you close enough. ;-)
 
Thank you so much. I just tried converting them to Flash with Flash Paper
which we have available at school. However you do lose all the transitions
and animations, etc. I will try a few using your solution tomorrow.
 
Hi, Steve,

I tried using the "save as a web page" option in PowerPoint. I found it did
not save any of the animations or transitions even though I thought I had set
it up to do so in the publish options. So I opted just to use "Flash Paper,"
which I think came with the Macromedia software. That, too, does not show
any animations or transitions. Is there a better way?

Using PPT 2003 here, I saved a small presentation with both animations and transitions as
HTML. First, I chose Tools, Options, General Tab, Web Options and on the General tab of
the Web options dialog box, put a check next to "Show slide animation while browsing".

The result: html pages that do display animation and slide transitions (though I'd bet
that not all effects are supported, and quite likely the result won't be as true in
browsers other than MSIE)

Anything there ring a bell?

So I opted just to use "Flash Paper,"
