Trouble with Powerpoint 2003, Flash and importing XML data

[KG1979]

I'm working with an interactive map in Flash, and its importation into
Powerpoint.

Once the map is placed, small dots link to XML data in another file and
display location names, etc when you scroll over them.

When I first place the flash file in PPT, it works fine. When I exit the
program, the Powerpoint file ceases to draw upon the XML data.

I'm using Powerpoint 2003, and all files are saved to the same directory.

Thanks for your help!
