No, that doesn't help Donald.
Where the file came from does not give us any information about
what TYPE OF FILE it is.  What kind of file are we talking about?
And to a lesser degree, what version of PowerPoint?

There are only two types of "moving picture" files.
Animated GIFs - in which case, my original statements still stand.
And VIDEO (mpg, mpeg, avi, asf, mov, etc.) -  video files will not play in
the editor view.
They will only play when the slide show is "running" AND someone must click
on the movie to start it playing

If it is some other graphic format (wmf, bmp, cgm, jpg, jpeg, etc) then it
is NOT an animation at all.
