MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / March 2008Installing Shockwave Flash Object in More Controls in Office 2007
I have read the posts about inserting a shockwave video in a Powerpoint presentation, however, when I select More Controls and scroll through the list it ends after the Microsoft controls. I tried uninstalling and re-installing Adobe Shockwave player, but I'm still getting the same results. The Shockwave Flash Object control doesn't show up on the More Controls list. What am I missing? Are you getting flash files opening in IE? which version of flash did you got installed? > I have read the posts about inserting a shockwave video in a Powerpoint > presentation, however, when I select More Controls and scroll through the > list it ends after the Microsoft controls.

Yea, the flash files run fine in IE. I even have flash files that I had embedded into Powerpoint files in version 2003 and they work. I just can't access the shockwave flash object in Powerpoint 2007 to embed a flash file in a new slide. When I open More Controls and scroll through the list Microsoft Works Imaging Server is the last item on the list. I have Shockwave 10.3 and Adobe Flash ver. 9 installed. > Are you getting flash files opening in IE? which version of flash did you got > installed?

At the end of the list of controls you will find the option to "register controls". Select this, browse to the players ocx file, select it, and then click ok.

I tried that, but no luck. It acts like there's a limit to the number of controls it can display. Is that the case? If I look in the COM references in Visual Studio both the Shockwave Activex and Shockwave Flash show up there. It just seems weird that it doesn't show anything after Microsoft Works Imaging Server. If it was just a problem with the Shockwave control I would think the list box would still show other controls that start with letters greater than "M". > At the end of the list of controls you will find the option to "register > controls".

I don't know if this will help or not, but you might try running Office Diagnostics. Maybe it will make controls starting with letters after "M" available?

I would try and run the diagnostics and if that fails, a re-install. Austin Myers MS PowerPoint MVP Team Provider of PFCPro, PFCMedia and PFCExpress www.playsforcertain.com |
