Well, I think the version of ActiveX control is tied to your version of
Flash Player. So maybe try updating to the latest Flash Player on the
Adobe
site and see if that fixes things.
You're not going to be able to embed the SWF in the PPT 2007 file
regardless. So the real issue is trying to get PPT 2003 to embed the SWF
on
your Vista machine.
- It does not look cool as a PPT-solution provider...
I don't agree with this, but okay.

Yes, it sounds like an ActiveX issue, how do you find out what version
is
running on your (my) computer?
I´ll have a look at the blocked registy issue, but I´m not really
interested
in svaving to old formats, just because my client wants to embed a
swf-file.

Also, which version of the ActiveX control are you using? It could be
a
problem with that control specifically.

I think you'll have to enable 97-2003 saving from PPT 2007. I can
find
3 KB
articles about your error message when you're trying to save.

Odd that PPT 2003 won't embed SWFs on the Vista machine. This isn't
something we've seen any reports of. Wonder if it's a Vista security
setting
of some sort.

Hi Echo
I am using PowerPoint 2003 and 2007 edition on VISTA. In either
case
when
setting EmbedMovie to "True", save, close and re-open - the
setting
is
altered to "False"
- I tryed to save to 97 - 2003 and but get this message "You are
attempting
to save a file type that is blocked by your registry policy
setting"
- I tryed to save as PP2003, using PP2003 then open in PP2007,
then I
get
a
Macro/ActiveX warning - wich I can accept/activate but stil the
setting is
altered to "False"
In order to get the job don, I have dusted off my old labtop with
PP2003
running on Windows XP Pro - and it has never caused problems like
the
above.
However that is not an accepteble in the long run.
:
I just responded to your post in the other thread, but now you're
talking
about your specific problem, so I'm glad you started a new
thread.
I'm confused by the 2003 / 8 reference. Which version of
PowerPoint
are
you
using?
If you add the SWF to PPT 2007 and save the file as 97-2003
format,
the
SWF
is definitely embedded.
When you're using PPT 2007, you have to link to the SWF.
Are you using PPT 2007 on Windows XP?

Embed Flash Movie in PP 2003/8 running on VISTA - is not saving
the
state
"true" in the Properties dialog box.
How to fix this?
PS. I had no problem when running PP on Windows XP Pro
