Looping Presentation With SWF Embedded

[MLDARCY]

Hi All,

I know that if you save a 2007 PowerPoint with a SWF file LINKED in it you
must send the SWF file along with it and have the link point to it. It does
not EMBED. That is okay. Here is my Problem:

I am saving it as a 97-2003 Show with a continuous LOOP until ESC is
pressed. HOWEVER, the Flash SWF file will only play the first time through.
Is there a setting in the options or some VBA code I have to insert to reset
the SWF file so it will play each time the show loops?
If all else fails I can save it as an Articulate show but then I lose some
of my animation and slide transitions. Any help here would be appreciated.

Thanks

Len D'Arcy

Ideally you would need to use vba in an AddIn that trapped the slide change
event and rewound any flash on the slide.

Good news Shyam did it for you and it's free

I've been using this - add a VB Module containing the code below. Edit the
line "Active Presentation. slides" and change the "35" to the slide number in
your presentation that contains the Flash content.

Sub OnSlideShowPageChange()
Dim obj As ShockwaveFlash
Set obj =
ActivePresentation.Slides(35).Shapes("ShockwaveFlash1").OLEFormat.Object
obj.Playing = True
obj.Rewind
obj.Play
End Sub
