Re: movie not playing from last position

Thanks, Austin. Sorry. I'm clicking the mouse while the video is playing in
full-screen mode. This is a video file that has been added to a powerpoint
slide using the insert movie from file menu option. I then use the edit
movie object to set it to play in full screen mode, and I'm trying to get
custom animation to let me pause it then restart at the same point.

Maybe it will be clearer if I go into just a tad more detail about the use.
I'm using the slides in a lecture for my class. I'd like to play part of the
video, then pause it to tell the students to look for a particular thing that
will happen, then start the video going again.
