I have recently upgraded to Powerpoint 2003.

I use media objects in the presentations (.mpg and .wav) in previous versions of PP I inserted them as an object (rather than embed, to save on file size). Settings were:

object: play
"hide while not playing"
"hide after animation".

What that did, for example, was when I clicked the mouse it would play the media file with a little progress bar at the bottom, so I could see how far through the clip I was, and when it had finished it would disappear.

Now, on 2003 I follow exactly the same process but the following happens:

INsert it as above and check the same settings. When I click the mouse button it flashes up briefly before continuing to play, but it is not visible on the screen.

Any help with this greatly appreciated

Matti
