Independent Animation Timeline

I have set up a linear animation of fades between
animations. Now I would like to have an independent
sequence of bullets that can be clicked through that will
not effect the aforementioned animation sequence. I can't
figure out how to make the animation remain unaffected by
clicks. Any ideas?
 
Thanks for the feedback.

The way that my animation differs is that I want the
animation to be running totally independant of the
bulleted list clicks. Your bullets are automated and use
the timeline, so you can get around that. I need to allow
my PP users (sales force) to control the pace of the
bullet list.

Imagine taking your scrolling text, and instead of
activating the bullets via a timeline, reveal them one at
a time with a click. Since my animation has more than one
image that are faded into one another with a timeline, any
click immediately moves the animation to its last frame. I
hope this is making sense...

On the animation page of my site, there's a sample file of text crawling
across a slide during a bulleted list; it may help you see how to make one
thing happen independently of another.

If that doesn't get you going, holler back.

Hm.

Well, there's another sample right below that one -- "crawling across
page continuously." If you take that and animate, say, that textbox on
the first slide, specifying each bullet comes in on a mouse click, it
works the way you describe.

But depending on the continuous animation, I can see how maybe that
wouldn't work. In that case, creating an animated GIF of the images
fading might be your best solution.

Oh, wait. Which version of PPT are you using?
