How to Register a Shockwave Flash
The Microsoft Office PowerPoint program allows users to embed animations into slides. If you are trying to play the animation but receive a message asking you to register the Shockwave Flash Object, it means you do not have the latest version of Flash Player. Once you install the program, the Shockwave Flash Object is automatically registered on your PowerPoint program. After you install Flash Player, change the controls on PowerPoint so that the animation will play.
