By movie button do you mean the object that appears when you use Insert > Movies
and Sounds > Movie from File - - a rectangle with the first frame displayed in
it?

You can add anything you want to cover it because when it starts playing the
object will be hidden - - movies always play on top of everything else. Does
that answer your question?

yes - the movie is inserted ith "insert movie from file" The movie doesn't
start automaticly. it is supposed to start when clicked. when i place a
picture over it(if that was what you meant), I can't start it.
The presenttion is supposed to be used by students who click their way
through it

If you are using PowerPoint 2002 or 2003 you can animate the rectangle to
disappear on mouse click and then set the video to run With Previous and under
Triggers check "Animate as part of click sequence.
