Command Buttons Quit Working After Saving And Reopening Presentati

[BobE]

I have a simple presentation with a Shockwave Flash video that I start and
stop with command buttons. There is only one line of vb code on each button
(swfVideo.play, and swfVideo.stop). Everything works fine until I save and
close the project and then reopen it. The command buttons quit working, but
the video still plays from the Flash object menu. What am I missing?

Are the macros enabled when you reopen the presentation? A high macro
security level will automatically disable the macros when you reopen it. Try
setting the level to medium and then reopen the presentation.

I have been rewinding the video from the menu that you get when you click on
the Flash video itself. I could use a button to rewind, but clicking on the
buttons only works when I originally build the presentation. Once it is aved
and reopend, the buttons do not work.

I set the Macro security level progressively lower until it was at the lowest
level, but alas, the buttons still do not work. If I copy my controls and
objects to a blank presentation, and copy my VB code also, the presentation
works again. As soon as I save it and close is, it does not work when it is
reopened.

Shyam,

It appears that you were right after all. Though it does not take affect in
your current session, when I close the presentation and reopen it, it now
asks if I want to enable macros. Whe I say yes, the buttons work as they did
when I originally designed the presentation.

Thanks for your help.
