Looping Controllable Video Playback?

I have a series of MPEG movies, one per slide.
I would like each one to loop continuously until I click.
Once I have clicked, I need the video to play to its
individual end before moving on to the next one.

Is this possible?

This is the flow breakdown:

Video A (looping)
Click
Video A completes
Video B

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

Peter.
 
I am not aware of any simple solution for you. But perhaps one using vba is
possible. If you have PowerPoint 2002 and you insert a command button on
the slide labeled "continue" that changed a 'go'/'no go' flag variable.

Slide 1 --Blank (auto transition set to zero seconds)
Slide 2 -- Movie A
Slide 3 -- VBA switch
Slide 4 -- Blank (auto transition set to zero seconds)
Slide 5 -- Movie B
and so on

On slide 3, vba would look to see if the VBA switch button had been
activated. If it had not, than it would loop back to the blank slide (#1)
before movie A, thereby restarting the movie/animations. If it had than it
would progress to slide #4.

Something like this would work, I'd think.
