PP linked SWF files issue

[Trish]

I have linked to 3 different SWF files for a presentation in PP '07. When I
F5 and view the preseo it all runs great. BUT if I go back do some editing on
my presentation and F5 again - I cannot get the SWFs to run - whats up and
how do I fix?

Need urgently for a presentation soon!

Thanks!

When the SWFs won't play, double check the Flash Properties. Most likely,
Playing went to False. PPT has a habit of doing that. So...you can check
each SWF Playing Property and make sure it's True before you save after you
do other edits or try this VBA code one of the MVP's here provided a while
back. Insert a module for each slide with an SWF and set the "X" in the
third line of code below to the slide number. So if you have three slides
with SWFs you'd have a module for each slide. Note that the third and fourth
lines shown below should be on one line. Not sure it would matter but
thought I'd mention it. I don't have PPT '07 but the code works on other
versions.

Sub OnSlideShowPageChange()
Dim obj As ShockwaveFlash
Set obj =
ActivePresentation.Slides(X).Shapes("ShockwaveFlash1").OLEFormat.Object
obj.Playing = True
obj.Rewind
obj.Play
End Sub

Good luck!
