Embedding asf file

[OHM \( Terry Burns \)]

I wanted to include and asf file in my power point presentation, so I choose
Insert | Movies | Movies From File and chose my asf file ( which plays fine
in windows media player ), it then asks if I want it to play when clicked or
automatically, so I choose when clicked.

A black space is allocated. When I start the presentation or try to choose
play from the action pane, nothing actually shows.

Any ideas ?

It should appear as a small speaker icon on your screen. It might be behind an
image or something else.

See http://www.echosvoice.com/tshoot_video2.htm. If nothing there helps, go to
http://www.soniacoleman.com/Tutorials/PowerPoint/multimedia.htm and read section
3. Make sure that your MCI settings match those listed.

Hi,

Consider inserting the file differently. Click on Insert, Object, Create
from file, Browse and choose your file, click ok.

You seem to have ignored the links Sonia gave you. Did anything there help?

Black box often means a path-length issue, and that (along with other stuff)
is covered in those links.

You are making an assumption which is incorrect, why would you do that ?

I have looked at those links, but they did not apply/assist in helping to
remedy my problem. If you have any other useful ideas, please let me know.

When you right click the inserted icon, can you drag it around your screen? The
reason I ask when you insert a movie or sound, the icon is placed in the center
of your screen behind all the place holders, and could be hidden. Have you tried
this with other .asf files? If you want to send the asf file to emko at hotmail
dot com I'll try it at this end. I have tried with my asf's in all versions and
they all work.

[Steve Rindsberg]

You are making an assumption which is incorrect, why would you do that ?

Because you didn't mention anything about having seen the links or tried the
suggestions there?

If you want to help people who're trying to help you, let them know what you've
done, what the results were (even if there were none) and so on. Otherwise all
they can do is make assumptions, correct or not.

 

[OHM \( Terry Burns \)]

I acknolwedge that I didnt mention it, non-the-less, assumptions are often
eroneous and somethimes dangerous to make and should be avoided.

Well, just so that we don't make any incorrect assumptions, maybe you'd
tell
us how you resolved it...

When you right click the inserted icon, can you drag it around your
screen? The
reason I ask when you insert a movie or sound, the icon is placed in
the
center
of your screen behind all the place holders, and could be hidden.

Have
you

tried
this with other .asf files? If you want to send the asf file to emko at
hotmail
dot com I'll try it at this end. I have tried with my asf's in all
versions and
they all work.

Out of curiosity, which version of PowerPoint are you using?

Hi,

Consider inserting the file differently. Click on Insert, Object,
Create
from file, Browse and choose your file, click ok.

Glenna

:

I wanted to include and asf file in my power point presentation, so
I
choose
Insert | Movies | Movies From File and chose my asf file ( which plays
fine
in windows media player ), it then asks if I want it to play when
clicked
or
automatically, so I choose when clicked.

A black space is allocated. When I start the presentation or try to
choose
play from the action pane, nothing actually shows.

Any ideas ?
