I have successfully created a PowerPoint presentation
with 2 embedded Flash animations on PowerPoint XP. An
individual with PowerPoint 2000 can view only the first
embedded flash. An individual with PowerPoint 2001 (Mac)
could not see either.

What do I need to do to make this work?

Here is an excerpt of the code...

Sub OnSlideShowPageChange()
Dim swf As ShockwaveFlash
Set swf = Slide4.ShockwaveFlash1
swf.Playing = False
swf.Rewind
swf.Play
swf.Playing = True

Dim swf2 As ShockwaveFlash
Set swf2 = Slide50.ShockwaveFlash2
swf2.Playing = False
swf2.Rewind
swf2.Play
swf2.Playing = True
End Sub


Private Sub ShockwaveFlash1_OnReadyStateChange(ByVal
newState As Long)
Dim swf As ShockwaveFlash
Set swf = Slide4.ShockwaveFlash1
swf.Playing = True
End Sub

Private Sub ShockwaveFlash2_OnReadyStateChange(ByVal
newState As Long)
Dim swf2 As ShockwaveFlash
Set swf2 = Slide50.ShockwaveFlash2
swf2.Playing = True
End Sub
 
Erik,
Mac users will not be able to see the Flash animation because ActiveX is not
supported on Mac platforms. For the PPT2000 user is it giving any error
message? Is the Flash movie embedded in the ActiveX control for the 2nd
control?

Erik,
If the swf movie is not embedded then have you ensured that the movie is
transported along with the PPT? And that the link to the SWF is a relative
link in the activex control?
