MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / November 2007.swf will not automatically play in '07
I am running PowerPoint 07, have the latest version of flash player, and have inserted a shockwave object control into a slide. I have set playing to true both in the regular list and under custom and have the full path under movie. When I present the slide, the first frame comes up, but it WILL NOT play unless I right click on the movie and choose play. When I go back to normal mode, the control has reset to playing=false. I have tried this now with several movies that are working on another machine with no problem. Any ideas? I have tried embedding and not embedding the movie. I urgently need a fix. Does anyone know where to manually re-register the flash control? You have to uninstall the player and reinstall it: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15511&sliceId=2 See: Try this first: How to fix almost all Flash Player issues  SignatureThanks, Glenna Shaw Microsoft PowerPoint MVP Team http://www.pptmagic.com > I am running PowerPoint 07, have the latest version of flash player, and have > inserted a shockwave object control into a slide.

Still will only play if I right click and choose play. > You have to uninstall the player and reinstall it: > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > ideas?

Did you try saving the file after you edited the properties and before you ran the presentation? Also are you saving it as a pptx or pptm format?

Does anyone know where to manually re-register the flash control? Hi, Is there is a stop set in the SWF itself?

Does anyone know where to manually re-register the flash control? I run into the same problem as you describe when I set the active x control properties for the shockwave object by hand - they don't seem to "stick." I have had good luck using flashspring to insert my flash files http://www.flashspring.com/ Flashspring is mainly intended to convert ppt to flash, I think - but if you download the free trial it has an "insert flash" function that does NOT expire with the trial. Of course, I could probably deconstruct what the settings are that flashspring uses in the active x control and find the glitch when setting by hand, but so far it is working so I haven't bothered.

Do you know if it needs to be installed on the recipient / show computer? I know SwiffPoint Player works that way, because it uses its own ActiveX control. (Dunno if it works in 2007 or not, though.) It catches people off guard -- they don't realize that they need to have SwiffPoint Player installed on the system that's ultimately running the presentation. Otherwise the Flash file just sits there, static. SignatureEcho [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com What's new in PowerPoint 2007? http://www.echosvoice.com/2007.htm (New!) The PowerPoint 2007 Complete Makeover Kit http://tinyurl.com/2qzlpl Fixing PowerPoint Annoyances http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/powerpointannoy/index.html No - I just tested it and it does not need to be installed on the playing computer. I don't think it is using it's own active x control - I think it is using the default shockwave/flash control, but changing the default settings - I have not gone through settings to see what is different. The problem it solves is this issue of the settings "Sticking" - I'm not sure why (using ppt 2007) One note about moving to a different computer - flashspring puts in the full path to the flash file - I just manually change it to the file name alone, and keep the file in the same directory as the presentation > That's cool.
