Geetesh, thank you for your reply. It was through your link that I first
learned how to add the .dcr file to my PowerPoint.
More specifically the problem is ... after I add the file to the Properties,
when I exit I only see a grey box. When I go to slideshow view I can see the
graphic/animation (.dcr file) once, if I go forward a page and then back or
if I go to normal view and back to slideshow view I only see the grey box.
To see it again I must completely close PowerPoint and re-start, then as
before I can only see it once.
I am running PowerPoint 2000, but even when I downloaded the trial version
of PowerPoint 2007 I had the same problem. I have the latest Shockwave
Player 11.0 downloaded to my computer (although I also tried older versions
to no avail)
I have googled the problem thoroughly and the closest solution I can find
relates to the same problem with Flash at
http://www.flashgeek.com/tutorials/04_playing_02.asp
That site's work around obviously only works with flash but I've had no luck
finding a similar code for Director files and writing code is completely
beyond my knowledge base.
Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated!!
The PowerPoint will be used in a classroom environment to teach Firefighters
and while I could have the presentation play through once okay I just know
that at least one question will prompt a return to the graphic (arghhh).
Thank you!!
