I've created a show with some flash presentations. Importing them was pretty
easy. My problem is that when I run the show, the slide comes up, the clip
plays, but the slide freeezes and won't advance upon completion. Am I doing
something wrong or is there a setting in the properties that I need to make?
I've got to present this tomorrow and I would appreciate any help I can get
today. Thanks in advance.

How are you inserting the Flash presentations in PowerPoint? Do they cover
the entire slide area?

I'm choosing "view, toolbars, control box"
Clicking on "more options"
Choosing "Shockwave Flash Obect"
Defining area - chose entire screen
Right click, chose properties
In block to right of "Custom" indicated the file name

Anything else I need to do?

Thanks

I think I figured it out.

When I designated the file, I unselected the loop option. The file seems to
be playing and the slide advancing now.

Thought I'd post it so others later would know what to do.

Thanks for your help.
