Embedded flash - continues after transition to next slide

[Chris_E]

Hi all,

This has me stumped...

I embedded a 7 minute flash video with sound, as a sampler of "what's
to come" into my PPT. I actually only need to show the first minute or
so of the movie and after that time I want to click to the next slide
and continue the story through the rest of the slide deck.

The movie has no navigation tools.

Trouble is, while I can move to the next slide, the flash audio
continues to the end of the flash movie.

If I right click on the movie as it plays, I can deselect "Play" to
stop it altogether, but that is detracting from the graceful flow of
the story.

I don't have the source FLA and have insufficient time to capture the
movie and render out the first minute only as a new short movie...

Does anyone have any idea how to stop the flash on transition? Is it at
all possible?

Thanks in advance

Chris

I think vba could do this. Insert a control button from the control toolbox
(view > toolbars > control toolbox if you cant see it)
Right click and copy this code in between the two existing lines

Slide1.ShockwaveFlash1.StopPlay
ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.Next
--
This assumes the flash is on slide 1 and has the default name ShockwaveFlash1
Did that answer the question / help?
