I had this problem--the properties dialog did not retain the flashVars entered once powerpoint was closed and reopened.
I eventually tried the following three steps...
1. Entered the "vid" after the link in the "Movie" field (see example), vice entering "vid=video_title" in the "flashVars" (it is never retained, for some reason).
Example Given
=============
http://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/player/flash/syndicatedVideoPlayer.swf ?vid=floods
2. Set "AllowScriptAccess" to "Always"
The AllowScriptAccess parameter can have one of three possible values: "always", "sameDomain", or "never":
When AllowScriptAccess is "always", the SWF file can communicate with the HTML page in which it is embedded even when the SWF file is from a different domain than the HTML page.
3. Entered a <CTL>-S while in the properties dialog box, just because (probably futile).
I did not test these out individually to identify if only one was required, because I was too frustrated by that time; however, I believe it is the "AllowScriptAccess = always" that is probably the remedy.
Let me know if you discover this to be true.

I just wanted to let you know that I have exactly the same problem
The settings in the FlashVars field keep eracing and also providing the
Flashvars in the movie URL did not work.
