Slide doesn't advance after SWF video
May 24, 2011

I am inserting a series of SWF videos into a series of slides, and would like each slide to advance automatically to the next slide when the SWF video is done. However, it's not working. It appears to reach the very end of the scroll bar below, but then doesn't advance to the next slide.
On the "Insert Flash Movie" screen, I am selecting:
Display in Slide
Advance to the next slide automatically when movie finishes
Synchronization - synchronize slide and movie
I have also tried: inserting 14 seconds of silent audio through audio editor (the SWF video is 19 seconds) and selecting Movie plays independently of slide.
Any thooughts? I've tried searching the forums, but haven't found the exact same problem yet.
Thanks.

In the Slide Properties, set the slide you want to auto advance to "Automatically" under the "Advance" header. That field will override the flash player settings.
Thanks for responding so quickly. It looks as though that was already selected, but I will play around with it.
I also have our tech guy trying to cut off the end of the SWF videos, or do something different to it (not sure exactly what - I'm not very techy!) so that it might allow it to advance at the end.
Thanks again. By the way, I like your Muppets picture.
Hi Amy,
In addition to what Dwayne suggested, make sure your Flash movies adhere to this article on best practices:
