Flash in powerpoint 2010

Question

I am trying to add a falsh file and set it so that it always run when I open my presentation slide show. What is killing me is that each time I open the power point or run the slide show for the first time, the next time the 'playing' setting will be false and the flash will not run untill I edit the setting again and make 'playing=true'. why the settings are not saved. P.S. I am using power point 2010

Answer 1

Last time I had to embed Flash file in the PP presentation I had plenty of problems (one of them was similar to yours). I found a workaround (not perfect, but acceptable):

I created a simple HTML document containing my Flash file and used third party PP extension (Live Web) to embed HTML in PP slideshow.
