web presentation: how to play audio sounds automatically?

[Guest]

Hi, I have a presentation that has a sound (mp3) on each slide configured to
play automatically when the slide is accessed. It works fine as a pps, but
when I post the presentation online (saved as html), the sounds don't play
unless the icon is clicked. Also, once they start playing, they can't be
stopped unless moving to another slide (in the pps, a key click stops the
audio).

Any tips on how to resolve these items, especially the automated playing of
the sounds?

thx,

brad

All animations and transition effects will lose if you save ppt slide
show as html pages, also the sound events triger actions will lose. If
you want to share the slide show on web, the best way should be
converting ppt to Flash movie. it may keep all the animations,
transitions and other subtleties in the original ppt presentation.

There's a review about converting powerpoint to flash:
