Scratch trying to get Flash to work, instead use a file conversion utility like ffmpeg and convert the flash to a Quicktime .mov instead (.avi might also work, but I know that .mov's work just fine). Then simply 'Insert|Movie and Sound' and insert the .mov. No need to fiddle with the Insert Plugin bits & it works out-of-the box. I've just tested on: Windows - OOo 2.3.1 Ubuntu linux - (U)OOo 2.3.0 (uses Gstreamer for video & audio) [Note: does *not* work on standard linux yet to be released OOo 2.4rc1 w/JMF properly installed and working for standard mpeg etc sound files] To test if a file will actually play, first try it in the Media Player (Tools|Media Player). If it plays there, then the chances are very good that it will play in your presentation. I note from your posting that you are using Windows; you can find ffmpeg here: http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/ and a 'frontend' for converting here: http://biggmatt.com/winff/ [note: I use this in linux, I've not tried the WinXP version] There are others, example: http://www.erightsoft.net/SUPER.html but I've not tried them.
