Could you post the ppt with the movie in it?

sure, it's made in ppt2003. 

So I looked into it and it appears in the recent PowerPoint update, they changed some options.

Now, if you want the Youtube video to play within PowerPoint, select embed to false. 

You had done everything correctly according to my tut, which was posted prior to the update.

Please let me know if the videos in the attachment play on your computer.

Woo! It worked! I had to copy the link, delete the object and remake it (which is pretty easy) but after saving and reopening it works.

Strange that nobody else had this problem (or posted about it)(or maybe figured out such a simple fix by themselves)

Anyway, thank you so much, for the tutorial and the help  :D

Hi Daejon,

I have a problem with your Angry Birds template...  I can make it work just fine with no problems on my computer in my office (which is in English), but when I move to my classroom, it doesn't work at all. 
I can't choose how many teams on the scoreboard, and when I click the X or check mark, it just takes me to the next slide instead of to the scoreboard slide...  Do you have any advice?

You will need to change the classroom computers trust center settings to allow for macros, Active X, and VBA as well

Hey Daejeon,

Firstly, I can only echo what most have said about you here on Waygook....Dude, you are hero to the masses and thank you ever so much for your amazing hardwork in creating these awesome games! Imagine my surprise to find out you're a fellow South African! Double yay!!!

I have been using your templates in my classes since discovering them with ooohs and aaahs from my students and will continue using them (if it is OK with you), but I have a small problem. In all of the games with scoreboards, only 6 groups are made provision for. I would like to change the template into allowing more groups on the scoreboards, but I have absolutely no idea how to do it. I've been watching your Youtube tutorials...again very helpful, but I've not come across one that covers this. I may be mistaken

Perhaps, I'm just totally clueless when it comes to these things, but want to learn more.

Again, thank you so much for all your help and hardwork!

Much respect and admiration!

The scoreboards aren't made in PowerPoint, and I think the creation of them is beyond the scope of what most people are prepared to learn. 

I will re-release my game catalog, including the ones I have not yet posted, to my website.  These games will contain full features including but not limited to:
- Scores for up to 10 teams
- The ability to load question/answers/pictures to any game theme
- The option of having an infinite number of questions and rewards
- Completely random questions and rewards

Hi Daejeon,

I think your the person I need to help me... but if there's anyone else out there, I would greatly appreciate if you could step forward.

I downloaded this "Catch the Vocab" game from an elementary school 6th grade thread (thanks to the original poster). It's a really great game and students go crazy for it so I want to modify it and use it for other lessons but I can't change the pictures as I can't locate them in the PPT. (You'll understand when you look at the PPT). I just don't have a clue how to do it or indeed if it can be done.

So, I was wondering if someone can help.

I've attached the PPT so if someone could just try to change the pictures. They seem to be embedded in the file somehow.

Thanks guys.... :D

So I checked it, and all the pictures are sitting on the slides.  Perhaps you are opening the PowerPoint as "read only".  That is the only thing I can think of from the description of the problem.

Hi Daejeon,

Ya, I read the instructions in the PPT properly and I now know how to change the pictures. I was just being an idiot.

Thanks for the prompt response. Keep up the good work...

Hi Daejeon,

I downloaded your Starcraft bomb game template from here and I thought the sounds were really cool so I was hoping I could use them elsewhere.

I found the PPT attached on the Elementary Grade 6 Lesson 10 "I'm stronger than you" thread (thanks to plaswuff for that one) and I am planning to use it this week. However, I thought the PPT would be much cooler if there was sound to go with it so I was hoping I could use the sound that begins when you open slide 7 (for example) of your Starcraft game. I want to attach the sound to all of the slides in the PPT attached below but I don't have the sound file and even if I did I'm not confident that I'd be able to attach it correctly.

Would appreciate your thoughts on this and whether you can help me out.

Thanks again for all ur hard work.

Here you are.  I have lost the original sound file, so I am unable to attach a riff header to the mp3, making the file size is enormous.

These tutorials are great, thank you for all your hard work!  I consider myself OK with most office programs but always found my PowerPoint presentations to be very limited.  Thanks for helping make me look like a pro!

Wow this is great, I've been feeling very lacking in the PPT design, especially since I have not been able to change my Word into English. Do you find yourself making powerpoints often or sticking closer to the book? I'm having a hard time trying to convince my co-teachers ppt could be helpful.
