Issue with trigger animation

[LaurenM]

Hi all,

I am using trigger animation to make a map of the US interactive for my
presentation. Basically what I am doing is putting little circles on my map
and when I click on an individual circle, a text box will appear with
specific detail. Then when I click on the text box, I have set up another
trigger animation to make the text box disappear. Everything was working fine
until I added another slide (which has just a static table) after my map
slide. Now when I click on a circle, the slide advances to my next slide
rather than displaying the appropriate text box. What am I doing wrong? I
took the check box out of Advance on "Mouse Click" in my slide transition
area but still no luck. I am using a Windows XP machine and PowerPoint 2003.
I would greatly appreciate it if someone has useful advice for me soon!!!!

Thank you!

Have you set the circles to have no fill? If so try a 99% transparent color
fill. Also make sure that nothing is in front of the circles by bringing them
to the front.
