Flash file in looping Powerpoint does not start in the second run

[Martin Bretschneider]

Hi,

I have Powerpoint 2003 on Windows XP.

I want to have a looping Powerpoint presentation and on one slide a
flash film.

The problem is that the flash film is only shown on the first time. On
the second time, when Powerpoint comes to the slide with the flash file,
I can only see the last 2 seconds of the flash film. Then nothing of the
flash film is shown.

I there a possiblity to say Powerpoint that is should always show the
flash film from the start?

TIA Martin

I solved it on my own. The problem was that the flash file was not
looping. Enabling looping in the flash creator made it work properly in
powerpoint.
