hi community

after inserting a sound file into a slide, I want to use an autoshape button
and when click the button, the sound starts to play, how can i do that, any
help much appreciated :)

thanks community for the assistance render :)
 
Hi there

If you are using PowerPoint 2003 (or XP/2002 I think) right click on the
sound icon on the slide and select custom animation. There will probably
already be an animation for it as when you inserted it you would have been
asked if you wanted it start automatically or on click. Click the drop down
arrow next to the animation and select 'Timing'->Triggers->select the
autoshape from the drop down list. Test in slide show view.

If you are using a different version (or none of the above makes any sense)
post back and someone else may be able to help :-)

thanks aneasiertomorrow :) yes! it works wonderfully !!
& now
i tried another shape and wanted this to act as stop....
however
the trigger section at the timing option, there is no "stop"..
any way to work around it ??

thanks community too
 
Hi ( and Hi Lucy) I guess its bedtime in Oz so I'll jump in.

Two ways

There should be a "Stop" action - if you select the music icon >in custom
animation >add effect > sound actions > Stop. Then follow Lucy's instructions
to add the second shape as a triggerfor this animation

OR

In the original change the "Play" action to Sound actions to "Pause" by
selecting it and then "Change". In this case the same button will start the
music and if pressed again stop it (and restart if pressed again)

Hope that makes sense
 
Hi all

Glad I helped 'Oldlearner'
Hi John - I was back in the UK last month and it snowed. Should have stayed
in the 36 of Adelaide...
Hi Glen - isn't Adelaide lovely? V laid back. And cheap :-) Did you make it
to any of the wine regions? Mmmmm wine.

Hi Lucy

Just realised 10 ish hours AHEAD in Oz (I was working on 10 behind)

Where were you in the UK? We havent had much snow this year even in the
North where we are and last week it was apparently HOT (by UK standards).
Next time drop by for glass of vino!

Yep 8.20 here in SA - the new Robin Hood is on the telly at the mo :-)
Where wasn't I? One night in Twyford, 2 nights (and snow) in Peatling Parva,
3 nights near Cannes, 2 nights in Cambridge, 5 nights in London, 5 nights in
Edinburgh (Front page of Evening News 'Scotland has mini-heat wave' - it was
16. We cut it out to show to the Aussies). Oh and lots of time on a plane.
Where up north are you? Is it grim? He he.
