You could have him just open the links up before the power point and have them load while he's presenting the first half of it...

I'll be the one presenting and that'll most likely be what I do. He just wanted everything to be nice and pretty. He's the new 1SG (which btw, thats First Sergeant, which means he's the top enlisted guy in my unit) who just came from being a basic training drill sergeant. He doesn't understand how things work he yet, and he's very....stubborn? It's okay. I'll do as he asks and hopefully it's good to him.

Problem is I don't have any cool videos, I've found some good ones on Streetfire of some dude getting pulled over at 144mph and also some of people running red lights and stop signs causing huge accedents. That's the stuff he wants, but I obviously can't get them off the sights.

Do any of you guys who are much smarter with computers than I know how to go about doing this? I know it isn't easy, which sucks. But I'm trying my best not screw this up. But lets face it, I'm a medic, not a computer guy.

If you use firefox, you can save flash movies. You will probably need vlc media player to watch them. it's really simple, though- click and save. i can probably show you later.


I use this for saving ****

If it requires me to install something on the computer the presentation will be shown on, that's a no no. Can't install programs on Uncle Sam's computers. He's gets a bit pissed about that.

you just keep asking for more and they make them fresh. there are probably a dozen different flavors to choose from.

Your making it sound like you dont have a choice. The way you told me is that you would quit. Or is it that you think you will be fired?
