Hello Experts,
Here’s the scenario: I’m embedding a flash video (.swf) file into a slide. I can do it using the Shockwave Flash Object control in PowerPoint. The problem occurs after I save the PowerPoint file (.pptx). When I try to open it again I get a message stating that PowerPoint found a problem and needs to repair the presentation. If I click on repair I get the message: some controls on this presentation can’t be activated. They might not be registered on this computer.
When I then open the slideshow the video does not load.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is a presentation that needs to go to a client asap. Thanks!
