IMBED a Beating Heart w/Sound

[Ken]

Excel 2000 ... In a spread sheet I would like to imbed a
picture of a BEATING HEART to include SOUND of the heart
beats. I make a lot of spread sheets, but none to
include moving pictures & sound ...

Can this be done? If so, what is easiest way for novice.

Thanks ... Ken

Hi Ken
this may be done using the Ontime procedure, using two different images
(switching) and playing a sound. To give you an idea to play with:

Dim Nexttime
Sub Beat()
NextTime = Now + TimeValue("00:00:01")
' insert cod to switch images
'insert code to play sound (have a look at
http://j-walk.com/ss/excel/tips/tip59.htm)
Application.OnTime NextTime, "Beat"
End Sub

Sub StopIt()
Application.OnTime NextTime, "Beat", schedule:=False
End Sub

Now the caveats:
- Don't do this -> Excel is a spreadsheet and not a blinking play
machine
- While this procedure is running you can't do anything else in Excel
- If you would like to have such thing, a dedicated application may be
the best thing to do this
