Play vid and stop on last frame on Mac PPT 2004

[Guest]

I want to do something in PowerPoint 2004 on a Mac that *I* think is simple:
Play an intro QuickTime (or SWF) video. In other words start with the first
frame, play, and end and stop at the last frame. Sadly, what I get is that it
plays the video to the end, then stops shows the first frame.
Noooooooooo!

I guess it's the "Poster Frame" feature, which automatically selects the
first frame. But when I select the last frame as the Poster Frame, it shows
it at the the beginning as if it's the first frame of the video, and I don't
want that either.

I tried the make the slide automatically transition to another frame w/ the
final frame in it, but it flashes to white no matter what transition I
pick--even if "None"--which looks pretty yucky.

So is there a way to do this in Mac PowerPoint 2004? A Macro, MOV vs. AVI,
VB scriptlet, or am I simply missing a feature?

Thanks!
