Rich,
Try this: Right click the animation. Select Effect Options. On the Effect
tab, which settings are selected? I am guessing that the Stop Playing option
is set to "On next mouse click". try changing it to "After__ Slides". Be
sure to set the number of slides to something other than one.
Does that make a difference?

I'm using PT 2003.
To insert: INSERT>MOVIES and SOUNDS>SOUND FROM FILE> and a click on WAV
file held in a folder on my desktop. THese are files of music, some are full
songs, some are clips, which are found throughout the presentation and used
for background music while slides are changing.
The sound files that work in the presentation have an icon that is a blue
speaker, and those that don't work have a yellow speaker.
Animation settings: START- After Previous, Property and Speed are both
grayed out. The PLAY button at the bottom of the Custom Animation box, it
plays for only one second, then stops, no sound.
I really appreciate your help.
sounds to play across slides, or are they just intermittent sound effects or
what?

Thank you, I changed as you suggested and they now embed. However,
they still show the playing time as 00:00, and I can only play the music
when I RT click on icon and hit PLAY. Do you know how I can get it to play
in the presentation?to 50000. That will embed any sound file up to 50MB. (I really wish that
thing were labeled differently -- "embed WAVs smaller than XXX kb" would
certainly make more sense.)
Also, know that only WAV sounds can be embedded, regardless of size.
Also know that you have to change your linked/embedded sound size setting and then reinsert the sounds.

Hi! I have inserted music files in several places throughout my
presentation. THe smaller files embedded into the presentation, the larger
ones did not. Those larger files are the problem... they only play when I
right click on their icon and hit PLAY, they won't play in the presentation.
I noticed that when I right click on the sound object icon and go to EDIT
SOUND OBJECT, it states in the information section that the total playing
time is 00:00. Can anybody tell me how to 1) make it play in the
presentation and 2) how to get the objects to embed into the presentation? I
have it set to LINK SOUNDS WITH FILE SIZE GREATER THAN 100K. It used to be
24K. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
