Hi,

I have embedded a swf inside a PowerPoint slide. The swf has two frames, a ‘welcome’ frame where users click a Start\_btn and the ‘game’ frame where users play a game. The problem is that whatever code I use on the ‘Start’ button, the swf will **a)** always start on frame 2 and **b)** when the game has finished and the user is taken to the ‘Start’ frame nothing happens when they click ‘Start’…unless you right-click and choose ‘forward’.

I have attached numerous swf in PowerPoint before but never stumbled across this issue before…Can anyone help please?

Y
