How do I superimpose text over a flash animation?

[Suzie]

I was to to go over the animation but the text only appears for a seconf and
the nis coverd by the flash. Send to front or back doesn't work. Changeing
the Flash file is not an option. any ideas?

 

[Sonia]

Unfortunately you can't make the text appear on top. You would need to
incorporate the text in your flash file because movies always play "on top".

Hi,

I'm sorry, Suzie, but while the flash file is playing it
will always be in foreground and will "preempt" your text.

HTH,
GLenna

Ugh!. Well then, is there any way to cover it up with something else after a
set time?

 

[PTMagician]

You can animate the text to appear on top of it after the
animation has stopped playing. Then it acts like any
other image.

Hello,

PowerPoint does not have the capability to display anything in front of a
playing movie including Shockwave Flash animations (movies will always
plays in front regardless of their z-order position in the slide when
edited).

If you (or anyone else reading this message) feel strongly that some kind
feature for allowing other slide contents to be displayed in front of
playing movies, don't forget to send your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS,
please) to Microsoft at:
