latest on Flash and Powerpoint

[John Duggan]

Hi,


I'm running out of ideas regarding the successful execution of Flash

movies in Powerpoint. This is a real shame as it gives enormous added

value to Powerpoint and opens up some great possibilities. My problem is

that a movie will always reset to: 'playing =false'. I've inserted a

Play Action at the start of the movie, but (assuming that I've done it

correctly) this seems to be overriden by the Shockwave Flash Object

within Powerpoint, which is resetting to 'playing =false'. However, if I

don't embed the movie in PPT, the Play Action is recognised. So this is

a workaround of sorts.


Someone within Macromedia must know about this as they presumably wrote

the code. So you MM guys on the list - you may not be Powerpoint experts

but you must know somebody who is and who can help me out on this.


Regards
