Playing movie in PP

[Guest]

I hve inserted an .avi movie clip into PP.
I have indicated that it is to start automatically.
It is hidden until I am ready for it.
I have set up the custom animation so that the movie will start 5 seconds
after last point is displayed in the PP.
The move "still" comes up at the proper time, however it will not start
playing until I have clicked.
I want it to start playing as soon as it appears.
I also want it to move to next slide when it finishes.
Can this be accomplished?
If so, what have I missed?

Make sure that the movie custom animation is set to after previous
You may want to remove any trigger movie animations which could confuse
things.

To get the slide transition set to auto advance after 0 secs - yes I know it
sounds wrong! If you want a short delay add an off screen animation say a
rectangle appearing at medium speed. Setting the transition delay to eg 2
secs will not work!

Did that answer the question / help?
