How to get objects to blink in succession until next slide
I have four arrows and I want them to keep blinking in sucession until the
next slide. Like the arrows are leading somewhere First: All arrows OFF Second1: Arrow1 On Second2: Arrow1 Off - Arrow2 On Second3: Arrow2 Off - Arrow3 On Second4: Arrow3 Off - Arrow4 On Second5: Arrow4 Off or maybe crawling: Second1: Arrow1 On Second2: Arrow2 On Second3: Arrow3 On Second4: Arrow4 On Second5: All Arrows OFF Repeat this sequence until next slide. The way a blink works is: delay-off-on but if you repeat it it goes: delay-off-on-off-on-off-on-off-on It doesn't repeat the delay part. The first delay works great but the subsequent delays don't. Is there anyway how to simulate this? Martin |

How to get objects to blink in succession until next slide
Once you have the single sequence you can make the slide a custom show (slide
show custom shows new and give it an auto transition In set up show choose loop until escape. You will need to provide action buttons to link to this custom show from your main show and a button to end show (the custom show not the main show) Hope that makes sense. -- email john AT technologytrish.co.uk "Glass" action buttons - http://www.technologytrish.co.uk/pptbuttons.html Personalised calendars - http://technologytrish.co.uk/calendars "Martin Atencio" wrote: I have four arrows and I want them to keep blinking in sucession until the next slide.

How to get objects to blink in succession until next slide
Delay will not repeat. It will occur for the first time and repeat the
animation without delay. My first thought is probably with the help of custom show. But a little tedious. See if anyone has a simpler alternative. First, you will need to add appear effect to all arrows. Then, add disappear effect to all arrows. Then, reorganize them so it looks something like this: Arrow 1: Appear Arrow 1: Disappear Arrow 2: Appear Arrow 2: Disappear Arrow 3: Appear Arrow 3: Disappear etc Set the first appear effect to start After Previous. Set all disappear effects to start After Previous. Set the rest of the appear effect to start "With Previous". Hold down Ctrl key, select the first appear effect and all the disappear effects. Right click and select Timing. Set delay to 0.5 seconds and okay your way out. We are done with the animation part. Next, click Slide Show Slide Transition. Put a checkmark to Automatically After (00:00). Do NOT apply to all slides. Click Slide Show Set Up Show. Put a checkmark to "Loop continuously until Esc". Okay your way out. For Custom Show, click Slide Show Custom Show. Click New. Add the arrow animation slide into the custom show. Click ok and close. Now, go to one slide before the arrow animation slide. Add an autoshape or action button onto the slide. Right click on it, select Action Settings. Select Hyperlink to Custom Show. Select the custom show you have added. Put a checkmark to Show and Return. So that it will go back to the slide once you pressed 'esc' key. Click Ok. Finally, right click on the slide thumbnail for arrow animation slide. Select Hide Slide so that the slide will not be shown when you want to proceed to the next slide (Unless you click on the arrow key). Or, you can add another action button on the arrow animation slide and have it hyperlinked to the next slide. -- Shawn Toh (tohlz) Microsoft MVP PowerPoint Site Updated: Nov 15, 2006 Added PowerPoint 2007 Visual Tour (OfficeArt Effects) http://pptheaven.mvps.org PowerPoint Heaven - The Power to Animate "Martin Atencio" wrote: I have four arrows and I want them to keep blinking in sucession until the next slide.

How to get objects to blink in succession until next slide
Wow! That's pretty involved. It works but I'm surprised that PP2003 doesn't
have that innate ability. But I'm also relieved that the solution was complicated. I would've felt like an idiot if it was just a matter of clicking a checkbox or something.
