I insert the Flash object in Powerpoint. The flash oject has an fscommand in
it and it will interact with the VBA in powerpoint. It works just fine.

I save and close powerpoint. When I reopen the powerpoint file the VBA code
no called by the fscommand. It seems the interaction only works after the
flash object is inserted in the same powerpoint session.

Any ideas. Can't figure out why this would be.

Check the macro security level.

1. Select Tools | Macros | Security on the security level tab, check MEDIUM.
2. Click on OK

Now, open the presentation again and enable the macro when prompted.

Thanks for the post. I have tried this and also setting the security to low.
It just doesn't work the same after closing powerpoint and reopening.

Found this on another discussion forum and this fixed the problem. Hope it
saves someone else hours of hair pulling.

Solution found.

Flash Player 9 needed a .cfg file containing trusted folders/drives.

c:\Documents And Settings\<yourname>\Applications Data\Macromedia\Flash
Player\#Security\FlashPlayerTrust\myTrustFiles.cfg
(if folders do not exist, then create them :)

The cfg file content is just a path or drive letter e.g.: "c:\" or "e:\my
things".
Multiple trusted folders/drives can be typed on seperate lines in the cfg
file.
