automate PP and start linked mpeg/avi

[Silvester]

Using automation from my A2K form, is it possible to :

1. create a Powerpoint slide
2. insert a mpeg/avi from a absolute path stored in my table
3. scale the mpeg/avi to full screen
4. launch the powerpoint
5. automatically start the movie

I know this is possible with images.

Would appreciate any help !

Thanks

Honestly? No. This is not a case of giving you or helping you with a few
lines of code, it's a full blown project and not to be mean but it's a lot
of work and I charge for that sort of thing. I think you will find that to
be true of most PowerPoint programmers.

However, if you like you can download PFCMedia from www.pfcmedia.com to see
a very simular add in. In fact it may do all you need.

OK, that would probably explain why there has been almost no reply to my
posts on this subject. Thanks anyway.

No problem at all and if I sounded harsh it wasn't intended. It's just that
this really is a major under taking.
