PowerPoint 2010 - Embedding SWF file issues

Initially I had Microsoft Office 2010 64 bit installed. The Powerpoint 2010 allowed me to embed SWF files with white background (without linking the file). I had to change office to 32-bit due to Outlook issues, the 32 bit PowerPoint 2010 will allow me to link the SWF file (cannot embed) and save, but when I try to reopen the PPT folder it asks to repair the file which changes the SWF link to a single image. Have retried my link on my colleagues computer running similar to what I had originally (64 bit office) and this has the same issues I am now encountering on the 32 bit PowerPoint 2010.

Is this due to an Office or PowerPoint update?

Cannot understand why this has suddnely changed.

    Latest Adobe Flash Update V18+, dated 22nd September 2015 makes the SWF Flash file corrupt in PowerPoint 2010. It may also do this in other versions of PowerPoint.
