SWF insert to powerpoint

[Rathdrum]

I am using Window 7 pro, 64 bit, PowerPoint 2010 and FP 17.The swf files are associated with FP17.  I have attempted to add a swf file into PP using both the insert video option along with the Developer method. The insert video option I get a black box and when I attempt to preview this I get an error message "Your current security settings do not allow this action'. When I open PP, the developer version shows only a white box. I have tried the following to correct this:

1. Inserted swf as video through Insert/Video ribbon
2. Inserted swf through developer tab
3. Changed security settings in Powerpoint to enable all x active and macros
4. Changes the registry lockdown settings
5. Updated both the flash player plugins and stand-alone player
6. Changed the swf file association to IE, Firefox and stand-alone player
7. Saved presentation as ppt, pptx and pptm

I was under the impression the FP 17 was going to resolve this? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

This isn't my area of expertise, but AFAIK, the issue with powerpoint was fixed in Flash Player 15. 

Do you have the latest Flash Player for Internet Explorer installed?  Powerpoint is going to use an embedded IE window, so having the latest Firefox plugin wouldn't help you.

Inserting Flash into Powerpoint isn't my area of expertise, but we've been referring to this guidance, which seems really solid:

Thanks for the reply. I had to do two things; download the FP 17 for IE as you indicated but also had to republish the swf file from FP 13, ActionScript 3.0 to FP 16, ActionScript 3.0. Everything is working. Thanks.

Sweet, thanks for the feedback.  I'll remember the SWF version requirement for the next time it comes up.
