Embedded SWF

Hi mark

This is a long standing bug. AFAIK a macro is the only fix. Shyam has a free ADDin. (FlashBack)

Thanks, John. I don't think an add-in will help in my case, especially as the client is presenting this afternoon.

I did not create the flash file (I don't get the chance to work with flash here), but when I was experimenting with placing a different file that was on our server, it didn't seem to reset itself, so I was wondering if there is a setting when saving the flash file that might be responsible.

I was also having a problem identifying how to address the embedded flash control with a macro. The tech note I found mentioned:

Quote:

Sub PlayShock()
Slide#.ShockwaveFlash#.Play
End Sub

NOTE: Slide# is the slide where the Shockwave Flash control is located. ShockwaveFlash# is the name of the Shockwave Flash Control on the slide; replace this with the actual name of the control.

But any attempt I made didn't seem to work. I tried

Code:

Slide1.ShockwaveControlName.Play
 
ActivePresentation.Slides(1).ShockwaveControlName.Play
 
ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes("ShockwaveControlName").Play
 
ShockwaveControlName.Play

But haven't had any success.
