Flash in PowerPoint

Is there a way to embed Flash files in PowerPoint and
have them rewind and play whenever you click on a slide
WITHOUT having to use a third party plug-in?
I'm doing a presentation for a company that will be
distributed nationally on CD-Rom and getting everone to
install a plug-in is asking a little bit much.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
 
I'm not sure how you are planning on distributing it but be aware that the
Powerpoint viewer (any version) will not play the flash movie (It won't play
any activeX component) so you are counting on everyone having powerpoint
installed.
As far as I could tell you have to use the addin (FlashBack) to rewind
automatically but that wouldn't work in the viewer either (No VB macros)

I ran into the same issue but way too late in a project

update as soon as possible. From PowerPoint, choose "Help -> Check for
Updates".]

Hello,

Although it's possible to use Shockwave Flash controls in PowerPoint, you
may find that PowerPoint does not currently support the level of
integration with Shockwave Flash that you are seeking.

If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that it is important to
have improved support for Shockwave Flash in PowerPoint, don't forget to
send your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS) to Microsoft at:

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also WHY it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions)
