Missing 'shockwave flash object' in powerpoint

Hi,
I've read hundrews of tutorials on how to add a file into a powerpoint 2007 presentation. For some reason though, I don't have the option of 'shockwave flash object' in the menu.
I am running windows 7 new as of 2 days ago and a copy of office I downloaded from microsoft 2 days ago. I have re-installed both Flash Player and Office - both with no succession. Is there any way I can fix this?
I've tried searching for the .ocx file - but have no idea what it could be called and found nothing that looked remotely related.
Does anyone have any idea what I can do? The project is due tomorrow at 9am - and I've been working on this one bit for all of today without getting any closer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have installed PowerPoint 2010 beta release on my machine. I was able to attach a SWF file to the presentation successfully. All options to insert a video are located on the Insert tab, in the Media group. Please refer to the link below on how to insert a flash movie to the presentation.

Also Microsoft have provided support for Flash in PowerPoint 2010. To find the list of supported formats please visit the following link:

  • In PowerPoint I Have Shockwave ActiveX Control - How do I Get Shockwave Flash Object?

    I'm running the latest versions of Windows 7 and PowerPoint via Parallels on my Mac. I want to insert a Flash movie into a PowerPoint slide. The instructions I've found tell me to look in Developer section->More Controls, find Shockwave Flash Object, use it to insert a Flash Object, and then to edit the Movie property of that object. But, I do not see Shockwave Flash Object. Instead I see Shockwave ActiveX Control. The properties of Shockwave ActiveX Control do not include a Movie property.
    I have gone to "http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/" and clicked the option to install the Shockwave Player, but the site says the Shockwave Player is already installed.
    How can I get the Shockwave Flash Object for PowerPoint into my installation?
    Thanks very much in advance to all for any info.

    Hi Vik..  I don't use Powerpoint but I do know about Shockwave Flash Object. It is in the manage add ons and installs when Flash Player is installed. It is an ActiveX Control and if you have the latest FP installed, Flash10d.ocx should be listed on the same line. It may or may not list the version #, which would be 10.0.42.34. It must be enabled.
    Beyond that info I could give you a link to a thread that involved powerpoint 2003 and 2007 if you think that would be of
    any help to you.
    Just post back.
    Thanks

  • Embedding a youtube video in Powerpoint 2010 via a shockwave flash object

    We have a user, has found recently, when he adds a 'shockwave flash object'
    in Microsoft PowerPoint 2010, and adds a YouTube link, next to the
    "movie" field within the properties of the shockwave flash object, it
    will not show the YouTube video window (with the play button etc.) and will not
    play the video.
    The user thinks the current version of Adobe flash is causing this (version:
    14.0.0.145) and would be grateful if any staff from Adobe or anyone else has any
    ideas if this version does cause this problem and if there is a way to resolve
    it, or if a new release of Adobe Flash player will address this and if so when
    it will be released.
    Thanks,
    James

  • No tengo Shockwave Flash Object

    Hola, tengo instalado Office 2010 32bits, mi sistema operativo es Windows 7 32bits. Instalé recientemente  Adobe Flash Player 11, y Shockwave Player 12. Ahora cuando quiero insertar un archivo .swf en una diapositiva en Power Point, en la opción de "más controles", no me aparece Shockwave flash object, y no se como agregarlo. Que puedo hacer?

    Bueno esto parece que es un tema más bien de Powerpoint. Producto de Microsoft, no de Adobe.
    Te sugiero busques allí, en algun foro de PowerPoint o similar, la respuesta.
    De todos modos si alguin aqui te lea tu pregunta sabe la solución seguro que te la ofrece.
    Antes de instalar el Shockwave Player 12, tenías en ese progrma la opción que indicas?
    Puedes probar a desinstalar SW Player a ver si reapareciera. Siento no poderte ayudar más.

  • Flash Player dosn't work in IE 11 even shockwave flash object is activated

    Hello,
    Flash Player dosn't work in IE 11 even shockwave flash object is activated.
    I've installed Adobe Flash Player Version 16.0.0.287 (today).
    then
    I  checked on this page:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/de/flash-player.html
    says Flash Player not installed or not activated
    Active X Version 16.0.0.287
    Internet Explorer 11
    Win 7 SP1 32 Bit
    Please help me.
    Thank you in advance
    Paul

    First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
    https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
    Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
    You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view#ie=ie-11
    If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

  • Embedded application/x-shockwave-flash objects will not display

    4.0b9 on Windows XP
    I just get a white section where a shockwave flash object should be, and in all the occurences I've found it's when the flash object is embedded. Youtube works just fine, though...
    In the "white section" I can right-click and get the options for Adobe Flash Player 10, but I cannot actually choose any of the menu options.
    In some cases, I can choose to display the flash object in another tab, and then it works just fine. Typically an embedded youtube movie clip acts like that that, but not always.
    In an example, I see only a white section where the shockwave flash object should be visible in Pichfork TV - http://pitchfork.com/tv/
    When I open the page information, in the media section, list of URL's, I find an URL that is both grey and italic, and describes this URL as type Embedded:
    URL - http://pitchfork-cdn.s3.amazonaws.com/player/DelveMoviePlayer.swf
    Type - application/x-shockwave-flash
    I assume this URL is grey and italic because it is not loaded or opened in the pitchfork TV site.
    This is the same problem with most embedded flash objects, and I really hope someone can help me! I've browsed aroud the support forums and tried a lot of different tips, but to no avail.
    I have of course uninstalled and reinstalled both flash player and shockwave from adobe's site, and made sure it's not the active-x version for IE that's installed.
    My add-in manager claims that Shockwave Flash 10.1 r102 is installed and enabled, and the release is the latest available according to adobe.com.
    I have also tried to open FF in secure/private mode, but same problem in both modes.
    Just to check, I tried to open this site with IE8, and there it displays correctly (and I also remembered why I don't ever use IE8, haha...), so apparently the active-x part of shockwave/flash works...
    BR, Torgeir

    OK, so now I've tried again to open FF in safe mode again, but the problem is still unsolved. Same problem in safe mode.
    The hardware acceleration in the flash player is set to disabled long before I posted this problem.
    I didn't know that Pitchfork had such a special flash player, but the problem is the same on any sites. Just chose Pitchfork because it's an English site. Bad example then...
    Here's a better example: NME.com:
    http://www.nme.com/musicvideos/my-chemical-romance-sing/832454
    Here I only see a white space where the flash object is embedded (if it really IS embedded, I dont't know how these things work). But I can right-click and get the dialog for Adobe Flash Player 10 properties (such as settings and global settings), and if I'm lucky to hit the start button (wich I don't see), the flash object starts playing, and I hear all sound but see no image.
    I open the page info menu, and here I find in the list of media URL's the link to the flash object, described as an embedded object in the NME site:
    URL: http://www.muzu.tv/player/getPlayer/a/RSFVcmvHJ4/autostart=n&includeAll=y&soundoff=n&vidId=832454&videotype=hq
    Type: application/x-shockwave-flash
    It's grey and italic in the list of media URL's, and I assume that's because it's not properly loaded.
    But if I copy the URL from the media URL list and paste it into the adress field of a new tab, I can both see and hear the flash object without a problem.
    This is exactly the same issue with local sites that have embedded web radio stations. Cant see the object, and have to be quite lucky to hit the start button. But by stepping via info for site and copy the URL to the flash object and paste it into a new, empty tab, I can both see and hear whatever was supposed to display in the original site.
    Any help would be more than welcome! So many of the sites I use most has embedded flash objects, so if I cannot solve this I have to find another browser. I REALLY don't want to, because otherwise I really love FF...

  • Shockwave flash object in Word doesn´t appear in PDF (Acrobat X Pro 10.1.4)

    I have a Microsoft Word document with many shockwave flash objects linked to graphs. The Word document has macro that dynamically links these graphs (SWF files) to the shockwave flash objects. The graphs aren't embedded, they are linked because they have to be loaded when the Word document is opened.
    In the Word document the graphs are loaded OK but when the Word document is converted to a PDF the graphs are shown completely blank.
    Does anyone know why it happens and if there's a solution to this problem?

    hi thanks Bernd, 2 questions:
    Can Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro do this (as well as Extended - from the product comparsion chart it seems so...)?
    If the full version can, does the trial version also enable this - am not really looking forwards to paying for software & then finding still yet to be resolved..?
    Thanks for this, others also interested on various sites will keep them informed.

  • Adobe Flash Player not working--Shockwave Flash Object not installing

    Ok...let's try this again.  Somehow my previous discussion that I had been working on with eidnolb got marked as "Answered" when it wasn't.  If you are reading this and are also having problems with Adobe Flash Player, please START YOUR OWN THREAD!  That allows someone to help you individually and will hopefully prevent MY question from being accidentally marked as "Answered" when it's not.  THANK YOU!
    Now to start the whole process over....
    1.  When I download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player, my computer says it's succesful.  I'm able to verify through Add/Remove Programs that it IS on the computer.  However, when I'm on a site that requires AFP--like Hulu or YouTube--I get a message that says I need to download the latest version.
    2.  When I was working with eidnolb before, we found that for some reason the Shockwave Flash Object wasn't on my computer, even though I uninstalled and installed AFP several times and also restarted my computer.
    3.  I use Windows XP Professional Version 2002, Service Pack 3 and Internet Explorer 8.  My computer also has AVG 9.0.830 for anti-virus protection and Spyware Blaster.  The only firewall I use is the standard Microsoft firewall that came already installed.
    4.  I am the administrator on my computer.  I have also made sure the following are disabled when I download AFP:  anti-virus program, anti-spyware program, firewall, all add-ons in Explorer, and any messenger programs.
    Thank you to whomever is available and willing to help me.  I truly appreciate it! 

    I had this problem too. I'm not an expert with this at all, but Adobe Support at:
                                                                                                           http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
                                                                                               and      http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/000/6b3af6c9.html
    said that if you try to use Flashplayer with Internet Explorer 8 (64 bit) it won't work and you'll just keep getting the message to "Install Flashplayer" over and over even if you can see in your files that you already have it installed. They told me to use the 32  bit version of IE  8, or another browser such as Mozilla Foxfire or Google Chrome (both of which are 32 bit).  Now I can watch Hulu with any of these three browsers. I didn't have to turn of AVG at all; but I have AVG  2011 Free Version 10.0.1170 downloaded from  http://www.download.com .  Also,  according to the first website shown above,  you don't have the latest version of Flashplayer,  which is recommended by Adobe.

  • Shockwave Flash Object 11.8.800.94 hangs.  Disabled, website works.

    Shockwave Flash Object 11.8.800.94 hangs website when certain pages using Flash are displayed.  Disable Shockwave, website works.  This occurs with IE and Firefox.  Anyone else see the same thing?  What is the work around?

    Regarding poor Flash performance, this is some standard guidance that addresses the most common issues. I'm sure you've seen some of it before, but just in case:
    (1) Make sure all recorders/downloaders that interact with Flash media are as up-to-date as possible, or disable them.
    (2) Disable hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox and in Flash
    (A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    (B) In Flash, see this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
    (3) Disable protected mode (Windows Vista/7/8)
    See this support article from Adobe under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]
    Any improvement?

  • Shockwave Flash Object SDK?

    Can you tell me where I can download the SDK for Shockwave
    Flash Object, which is in file
    C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash9c.ocx?
    Thanks.

    Thanks.
    Do you have a complete document on Shockwave Flash Object?
    Also, is there a way to get the URL of the flv file that is
    being played by the flash object? The LoadMovie function loads a

  • Shockwave Flash Object

    Hello, i was just wondering is there was a Shockwave Flash object class in the java api. I haven't found one. what i mean by Shockwave Flash Object, is something that allows you to create an SWF object within a panel, or applet. Something that could be used to play flash games on them.

    Shockwave is taken over by Adobe since one year or so.
    To find Java API's to play Adobe Flash just consult Google: [http://google.com/search?q=java+api+flash]. I see at least two useful API's in the first few results.

  • Shockwave Flash Object add on causes websites to freeze, asks to recover webpage

    Hi there
    I am experiencing issues with browsing websites with Shockwave Flash Object add-on for IE11 enabled.
    I have a Remote Desktop server (2008R2 sp1) with 50 users. When enabled, browsing to websites becomes almost impossible - the sites i browse lock up and a message appears saying the webpage needs to be recovered.
    I have found a work around - enabling ActiveX Filtering, however, it is annoying having to add pages to the exceptions list for ActiveX filtering each time I hit a page that requires activex controls.
    I have attempted to uninstall/reinstall Flash, upgrading to latest version, and even downgrading to previous versions, all without success.
    I have tried resetting IE settings, and gone to the extent of creating additional users to test, however, no matter what I have tried the issue is still present.
    Are there any other options I can try to help resolve this issue?
    Warm regards,
    EsDood5793

    Is nobody able to assist me at all?
