How do I move an object (clipart) I want to click and drag it aro.

G

Guest

I want to click and drag a clipart image around the screen during a
slideshow. How can I do this? I need to do this several times (children
will be moving an animal picture around the screen to show understanding of
prepositions e.g. in/on/under)

I don't believe there is any support for draggable objects in PowerPoint.
I have a little VBA sample that lets you click on an object and click
somewhere else to move it there. Something like that might work for your
application. Check out the More Tricks section of my site and look for
trick #5:

Click and drag would clearly be better, but I don't have that.

Since you can't select shapes in slideshow view, it's not possible to do this.

You might be able to do something with action settings and multiple slides that
let you put an animal and a box on the screen and have the children click
above/below/in the box to move the animal to the appropriate position.

Would that work?

We can make it!
Give us some time to provide an english version...
Mail me for pointing you to our download site?

Hans,

This is great! Any chance of making the code public, or am I going to
have to reverse-engineer it so that I can replace my lame attempt at this
on my site. I got the basic movement of shapes, but I didn't get the
shape following the cursor around. I love it.

HI to all,
This is great! Any chance of making the code public, or am I going to
have to reverse-engineer it so that I can replace my lame attempt at this
on my site. I got the basic movement of shapes, but I didn't get the
shape following the cursor around. I love it.
Click to expand...

There is no intend to publish the code on a website, but I am pleased
to do some payback to the MVP community, so feel free to mail me your
email address and I will send you the code...

BTW:
What says p o s t m a s t e r @loyola.edu getting all the spam for
marcoNOSPAM ?;-) Do I have to remove NOSPAM?

Thanks, I got the code. As you figured out, you have to remove the NOSPAM
from my email address. I'm debating whether or not I should look at your
code (I haven't opened the file yet). I would really like to have code
that I can freely distribute. When I have time, I might try to create it
myself. This would be so useful in education, so I would like to be able
to share it with the educators I teach and even post the code on my Web
site.

Do you have plans to distribute this for profit? If not, you could
benefit a lot of people by making the code public domain.

Hi David,

Ok, I see. I did not consider your arguments.
The code should be free for education und personal projects, if there is a
need for. Let me say, on multiple wishes of a single user I went to Shyams
Site and did some copy & paste (hi, shyam is this OK?) to get a appropriate
licensing text. Can you give a little help for Step 5 to explain the setting
of makro to shape click? I have a german version only and no complete idea
to discribe the dialog text...

We add a Drag & Drop page to our website for download.

The code is part of a quiz-addin-project.
You can have a look on it. I made a flash movie with a beta version (in
german).

Hans,

I've been out of the office for about a week now, so I didn't respond
earlier. A free educational license would be a great idea. I'll link to
your site from my site, probably under my More Tricks section.
