How do i add a Javascript link in powerpoint?

Hi, I am creating a training manual but i find using pictures slightly
boring. I have created Shockwave/flash files showing in detail how to
use certain things.

I have tried to embbed the shockwave file into powerpoint and it kind
of works.

What i want is to create a link which opens the shockwave file in a new
window, but just the shockwave file without any toolbars or anything.
I noticed javascript files open in a new window which is ideal for me.

How do i do that?

I have a powerpoint file and a shockwave file??

Any ideas?

Hi Sizz,

I'm not entirly sure where you are going, but if the file is a
shockwave, it should be possible to load it in your browser, or embed it
(though I guess you might attempt to embed powerpoint too... should be
possible). Anyway, fullscreen doesn't work in any browser besides IE:


function openPresentation() {
presentation = window.open("mypage.html",
"presentation", "width=" + screen.width + ", height=" +
screen.height + "," + "fullscreen=1");
}

<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="openPresentation();">Start</a>

Something like that. You can replace mypage.html for
mypresentation.swf.. might work, or embed the file. You'll need to look
at the details of how to embed shockwave somehwere else, for example here:

You can usually set the width and height to 100%, taking up the whole
screen... have fun.
