I created a movie(avi) and inserted it into my presentation
successfully. I have also created an image that I want to be on top
of the movie at all times. When the slide comes up, the image is
overlapping the movie, but as soon as I play the movie, it image
disappears. I have tried grouping the 2 and then bringing the image
forward. Doesnt work. Is it possible to have the image "always on
top"? Thanks

Sorry but the video will always come to the front of any object in
PowerPoint unless you wish to use some VBA code to alter it.

You might want to look at how I do it with text.

You could do something like it with a image or picture box control.
