Can you insert scratch things into powerpoint?
Hi, I'm using PowerPoint 2007. Is there a way to insert scratch projects into it? It's for a school project.

Re: Can you insert scratch things into powerpoint?
With my current knowledge of PowerPoint, I don't know if Scratch project files are capable of being inserted into PowerPoint presentations. I don't think Java applets are capable of being inserted into PowerPoint either.
A workaround might be to upload the project to the Scratch website and use LiveWeb software (a PowerPoint add-in), which should theoretically show the web page of the project in real time (I haven't tried the software myself, but this is the only solution I am aware of with regards to importing a Java applet into a PowerPoint presentation):
- Download page: http://skp.mvps.org/liveweb.htm
- Step-By-Step instructions: http://www.ehow.com/how_4967102_put-applet-powerpoint.html
- NOTE: If you use the LiveWeb method, just note that it doesn't work in PowerPoint viewer nor on computers that do not have LiveWeb installed.
If the goal is to simply show a Scratch project in action, maybe you'll just want to use videocapture software and record the Scratch project as it is running to create a film and insert that film into PowerPoint.
Hopefully this helps out for your school project.

You can export Scratch sprites and put them into PPT, but that's all I know so far.
