Interactive slide show?

Hello,

I try to do the following:

This is a slide from an interactive Test Plan. When the tester has tested a
Unit successful, the part in the diagram should be marked. In this case will
the yellow traffic light going from yellow to red or green, depends on what
the user is clicking, when he is in the Slide show mode.

First try: Macro

Created the Macro Red, which will change the color to red. This works fine,
when you are in the working mode and run the macro red.

Then I assign the macro red to the red dot, but in the slide show happens
nothing, when I select the red dot.

Second try: Custom Animation

I have assigned the Custom Animation Change Fill Color by Mouse click to the
red dot. This works, but just in the order, like the Custom Animations are
created.

Question:

What do I have to change, when I like to have a color change on this traffic
light, where the user is clicking?

Thanks!

which version are you using? If it is PowerPoint 2002 (or newer), you could
use trigger animations. Click on that tiny triangle next to your Change Fill
Color animation in the Animation Task Pane, go to Effect Options and choose
the Timing tab. There you can set the trigger options, so that your dot
changes color when you click on it.

Kind regards,
Ute
 
I usually use VBA (Visual basic) code to perform these actions. For
example, I have three objects - Red Light, Yellow Light, and Green Light. I
place them all on top of each other. I have a button that is clicked at the
beginning that hides the yellow and green light objects. I assign macros to
various buttons (Testing buttons in your case). When the user clicks on a
button it can now hide the Red Light and show the Yellow Light, etc.

I would be happy to post some code or send an example for you to try out.
Just holler back!
