'Re-running' MPEG files

[IJC]

The mpeg file runs automatically, first time, but if you loop back to the
slide (via a hyperlink), the mpeg won't run again unless you click the screen
- any ideas?

Put a blank slide with zero transitions before the one with the mpeg file, and
link back to it.

Thanks Michael - that works - I tried a similar thing by introducing an
invisible object prior to the running of the mpeg file, but that didn't work
- but the additional slide does!

Unfortunately, when you link back to the original slide PowerPoint brings you
back in after all the events.
