Help needed for custom animation...

[rose]

Hi,

I have 3 picture objects & 3 buttons respectively
i need to display each picture on the screen respectively
on the click of each button in my ppt slide show...

i tried using macro to set the order & bring n front trhe
1st picture on the click of 1st button... but that works
only during design time...
macro code for 1st button:

Sub CLICK_1()
ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.Shapes("Object
2").ZOrder msoSendToBack
ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.Shapes("Object
3").ZOrder msoSendToBack
ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.Shapes("Object
4").ZOrder msoSendToBack
ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.Shapes("Object
1").Select
ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.ZOrder
msoBringToFront

End Sub

any idea if i can set this thru custom animations?
thanks
Rose

Which version of PPT? This is easy to do with PPT 2002 or 2003 using
Triggers (and skipping VBA altogether), but these aren't available in PPT 97
and 2000.

Hello,

FYI: If you are using PowerPoint 2002 or 2003 this can be accomplished
without having to resort to VBA. The new animation settings include the
option to add a "Trigger" object to each effect so that when you click on
the trigger object the effect(s) are triggered interactively. The added
advantage is that these triggered effects also work in the PowerPoint
Viewer 2003 while a VBA solution would not work in the Viewer.

Hello,

Since you're using PowerPoint 2002, you should be able to use triggers to
accomplish your goal.

There's an online assistance article that shows how to use triggers:
