Sound Effects with Timeline.

G

Guest

I m into powerpoint automation. I m animating few shapes simultaneously using
Timeline for powerpoint 2002. But i have problems adding sound effects to the
animations. I have two shapes: rectangle and text. Both of them get animated
together. But when I try to add sound they come one after another. Can
someone help me in adding soundeffect without effecting the simultaneous
animations of rectangle and the text?

Thanks.

How did you add sound?

(Is "Timeline" an add-in for PPT, or do you just mean that you're using
PPT's custom animation and showing the timeline so you can see what's
happening?)

Oh, wait. You said "into PPT automation." You mean you're using VBA, right?
You'll need to post the relevant code.

The code is actually very big. We have lots of funtions and modules in VB.
But I am trying to post the relevant code:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sub ApplyEffect2002Effects(NewShape As Object, TextProperty As
TextProperty_, Optional EffectName As String = "")

Dim effect_ As Object
If EffectName = "" Then
EffectName = gAnimationStyleName
End If

With TextProperty.ParentSlide.TimeLine
Set effect_ = .MainSequence.AddEffect(Shape:=NewShape, effectId:=0)

Select Case EffectName

Case "EffectsRectangleFade"
EffectsRectangleFade effect_

Case "EffectsTextFade"
EffectsTextFade effect_

Case "Style1"
EffectsSlide1 effect_, gAnimationOrderCounter

Case "Style2"
EffectsSlide2 effect_, gAnimationOrderCounter

Case "Style3"
EffectsSlide3 effect_, gAnimationOrderCounter

Case "Style4"
EffectsSlide4 effect_, gAnimationOrderCounter

Case "Style5"
EffectsSlide5 effect_, gAnimationOrderCounter

Case "Style6"
EffectsSlide6 effect_, gAnimationOrderCounter

Case "Style7"
EffectsSlide7 effect_, gAnimationOrderCounter

Case "Style8"
EffectsSlide8 effect_, gAnimationOrderCounter

Case "Style9"
EffectsSlide9 effect_, gAnimationOrderCounter

Case "Style10"
EffectsSlide10 effect_, gAnimationOrderCounter

Case "Style11"
EffectsSlide11 effect_, gAnimationOrderCounter


End Select
End With

I hope u got the code. Here is one ApplyEffects2002 function which checked
the type of animation i want to put and then applies the effects using
Timline ANimations (We use timeline in 2002& above becoz Animationsettings
work for 2000 & earlier). Now we need to add sound to every effect.

Thanks.
