Custom Animations

[Skoot]

I want to have 5 objects appearing on a slide in sequence.

3 of the objects are JPEGs and the other 2 are Flash movies.

I can apply the animations to the JPEGs but the Add Effect button is greyed out when I select the Flash movies so I'm guessing I cant add an effect to a Flash movie.

Is there another way of achieving what I want?



Thanks in advance

I think the only way would be to have separate slides.

Thanks for the reply.

Does that mean that I wont have all the objects on the screen at the same time?

Not necessarily.

Example:

Slide 1

Two normal shapes with fade in animation

Switch to slide 2 which has the two shapes with NO animation (ie visible) and the flash video which plays

Switch to 3
Has shapes plus image of video and new shape with animation

To the viewer it looks like one slide.
Make sense?

Ahhh..yes...I think I understand. I hadn't thought of that. I will try it later.

Thanks.
