Let film go on while animating other objects? (PPT 2003 PC)

[Eva_S]

Hi,

Is there any way to let a movie-file (.avi) keep running while mouse clicks
start other object activities? In other object animations I can choose "to
end of slide" but not when adding a movie. I also want the movie to loop over
and over.

Anyone?

This should help Eve:

You can set repeat in the Timing tab you should see when you follow the
tutorial.

Eva,
To loop the video, right-click the video, choose edit video object, put a
checkmark next to Loop until stopped.
To start other object with a click just make sure that these objects do not
cover up the video. Video always plays on top. Otherwise there should be no
problem.
