Grrr.

variables - PowerPoint 2000 on win2k. Flash 4 (.swf) files generated on a
Mac

Placing a .swf file into PPt using the Shockwave Flash oject - an Active X
control. 

Works great - EXCEPT, Play, Loop and Embed settings are intermittantly saved
with the document. Toggle settings and F5 to start the show, works fine.
Save and close the document and re-open - settings not saved, but in a
random way which I am unable to reproduce.

Yes, the .swf files have the Play Action set in the first frame loaded, but
the Active X seems to override that.

Anyone have experience with this? I am really under the gun, as when testing
I was confident this woould work (it did), but in practice it is unreliable.
However, I am commetied.

<tip type="hover style on images">
Watch using a background color on your hover style. If a transparent image
has an HREF, the hover background will show through, and that's usually not
what the intention was. Create a pseudo style like A: hover.imageStyle if
your browser will support it.
