Help: Get movie to start only after some time and while advancing

This is what I want to do:
* Start a movie after lets say 5 second unless I move forward to the
next slide using Next or mouse clicking.
(* optional extra: put the movie in the slide master and get the
effect on every page)

versions: PowerPoint 2000, 2002

I set the timeings and it starts correctly. But, as I move ahead using
Next or clicking the mouse to go to the next slide before the movie is
triggered the movie still starts. Yes, the movie is set to do nothing
on mouse click and mouse over. Yes the custom animation is set only to
respond as a timed event.

How can I get around this strange behaviour?
 
I'm not sure that I understand. Do you want to skip the movie altogether if you
advance the slide before 5 seconds have expired? Try this - - Draw a rectangle
the size of the slide. Go to Slide Show > Action Settings and hyperlink to Next
Slide. Give the rectangle no fill and no line. Test. Does that do what you
want?
