Setup a show to Kiosk mode. Build two slides with two hyperlinks: HL1 linked
to slide 1, HL2 linked to slide 2. Place an object on slide two and use a
motion path to move it from its initial position at time 0 to a different
position at time T. Run the show stating at slide 1. Click the hyperlink for
slide 2. Notice the animation sequence runs. Click the hyperlink for slide 1
and then click the hyperlink for slide 2. Notice that the object is in its
time T position. Apparently the animation timeline does not reset when a
hyperlink is used to jump to a slide.
The work around I found was to set an additional slide with no animations in
the sequence before the slide with the animations. This intermediate slide
would advance automatically after 0 seconds, and THAT transition to the
animation slide seems to reset the timeline. The intermediate slide could
even be identical to the animation slide (just without the animation), so
that a Kiosk use does not even notice the additional slide. Simply hyperlink
to the intermediate slide instead of the animation slide.
