I have a page with different objects that are linked to different slides,
each with a different movie, clicking on the object takes the user to the
slide where the movie begins automatically. Is there a way to show these
movies on the same page as the as the objects. For example, let's say I want
to show one of five different movies depending on which object is clicked. I
want the movie to show in the same location of the page with the objects. I
don;t want any movie screen visible until the object is clicked and then I
want the movie screen to disappear after the show. Clking another object
would do the same thing.

Thanks for any help,

Vic

Try first setting the videos to "Hide during Show" (or equivalent in pre 2007)

Then have each button trigger one video to play and all of the others to
Stop (with previous)

Thanks, John. I did try setting each video to hide during show but
strangely, some hide and some don't even though they are all .wmv format.
Now I am trying just stacking one on top of the other with a simple trigger
to start and hide after completion. Will let you know if that works.
