Hi,

I imported a panorama .jpg file (i.e., several overlapping landscape photos stitched together) onto the Flash MX 2004 stage, changed it to a symbol (graphic), and used Tween to simulate the panorama panning back and forth.

The effect looks great when I click on the .swf file in Windows Explorer, but when I created a box on a PowerPoint 2000 slide and linked the .swf file to it, instead of the graphic, there is a red rectangle. The rectangle moves the way the graphic would, but you cannot see the photograph.

By the way, I followed the steps at [FONT=&quot][http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flash5/powerpoint.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/../developer/flash5/powerpoint.htm)  
to link the .swf file to the PowerPoint slide.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Bill
