Flash in PPT 2000

[Ryan]

I have been trying to import Flash animations into
PowerPoint 2000 and have been using the View - Control
Toolbox - Hammer button - Shockwave Flash Object. After
filling in all the appropriate fields (location, Play =
True, size, loop, etc, etc) and embedding the Flash
everything runs fine. When I exit the show and close the
presentation the "Play - True" option turns to "Play -
False" and the next time I open the presentation the
animations don't run.

Is there some default option for Flash objects?

Am I going about embedding Flash the worst possible way?

Can anyone let me know of another way to embed Flash
animations without having PowerPoint look from the root
drive all the way to the folder the flash is in (the
presentations usually don't stay on one computer/server)?

If the Flash movie is in the same folder as the PowerPoint you don't need
the path - just the name. And if you choose the 'embed' option then it will
embed the movie so you don't even need that.
