Guys from iSpring Solutions have managed to develop a tool that fixes presentations with broken Flash objects

It seems that they also provide a iSpring Suite product with functionality similar to Adobe Presenter

Great. I am glad to hear that. Will you then put that fix in the Flash 19 version for reload, or apply the fix to it once it is installed?

Hi,

The issue of publishing the project is fixed now.

To fix the issue, just update the Flash ActiveX to the version 19.0.0.207 and you will be able to publish again.

To update the Flash ActiveX go to this link from Internet Explorer : Adobe Flash Player Install for all versions

To recover the old projects which got corrupted you can go through this article and recover all your old projects : https://helpx.adobe.com/presenter/kb/projects-in-presenter-get-corrupted.html

Thanks,

This issue is caused by the latest Flash Player 19.0.0.185 update.

There is already an issue in Flash player issue tracker.

Bug#4062206 - Flash content cannot be embedded within Microsoft PowerPoint

I recommend you to vote for that issue to make Adobe Flash player team fix it ASAP.
