I have a movie embedded in a slide that is set to start on a user click.
Does anybody know how I can start the movie programmatically using the
automation interfaces while the slide show is running. There seems to be a
way for sounds by using the
ActivePresentation.Slides().Shapes().AnimationSettings.SoundEffect.Play()
functionality, is there some equivalent for movies as well?

Thanks

Alex,
Which version of PowerPoint are you using or intending to support?
 
It would be nice if it could be from PowerPoint 2000 onwards. Is the code
very different for different versions of PowerPoint?
