FlashBack - Add-in to rewind Flash movies in PowerPoint automatically
"How do I rewind Flash Movies automatically during a slide show?" This question comes up often on the Microsoft Public PowerPoint Group, so I finally decided to work on it. FlashBack is the result. FlashBack will rewind the Flash movies inserted using the Shockwave Flash control automatically.
 | Tip: Use the Flash Movie tool which is a part of Shyam's Toolbox to insert Flash movies into PowerPoint. Versions Supported: PowerPoint 97 and later versions.

This update fixes the residual frame flashing which happens before the movie is rewound.
Installation instructions:
Extract the contents of the zip file to a folder
Launch PowerPoint.
Select Tools | Add-ins | Add new...
Locate the FlashBack add-in and select it.
An 'X' mark against 'FlashBack' should appear in the list of add-ins loaded.
If you cannot load an add-in in PowerPoint 2000 or later then check the macro settings (Tools | Macros | Security) and set it security level - MEDIUM.
1. Select Tools | Macros | Security on the security level tab, check MEDIUM.
2. Click on OK
3. Now load the Add-in as per the instructions.
4. Once the add-in has been loaded you can set the Security level back to HIGH
How to use:

If required select Tools | FlashBack | Initialize FlashBack.
Select the appropriate options.
Launch the show. FlashBack will automatically rewind all Flash movies during the slide show.
