Controlling Flash?

[robdeman]

Hi all,

just had to do a little project with a Flash(8) file running in on a
slide.
I noticed that Flash's runtime runs independent from Powerpoint's.
This make sense since it is an ActiveX control.

However: when I view the slide with the Flash movie, then go to the
next Slide, and then go back to the Slide with the Flash movie, then
the Flash movie does not rewind.

I know that you can create action buttons that trigger VBA code that
can control the Flash movie. I could make a 'rewind' button.

But I want to use Powerpoints built in navigation. Not an extra
'rewind' button.
How can I write some code that rewinds & plays the Flash movie
everytime I go to the Slide with the Flash movie?

Thanks!
