help

a friend of mine is trying to insert an swf file intp powerpoint and neither of us can do it

searching on the web comes up with a method using the control toolbox -> more controls -> shockwave flash object - BUT, neither his nor my computer shows the 'shockwave flash object' option in the more controls (only shockwave activex control)- and i have installed flash etc but it still not appearing.

other options tried included converting the swf to a mov or avi but these haven't worked - i have tried about 8 different programs and none of them can convert to a file that inserts into powerpoint (either fails to encode or gives me a file that wont insert).

any ideas - i don't know the first option isn't working???

cheers
 
nobody?

i checked my pc at work and it does have 'shockwave flash object' in the menu and no 'shockwave activex control' but i'm buggered if i can find a difference between the 2 pc's - and of course it won't work on my pc at home even if i do it at work - stupid microsoft crap!!
