Controlling access to slides

[C-ville Charlie]

I am showing a windows media file move in a slide and I don't won't the
viewer to go to the next slide until the movie finishes playing. Can I
prevent the next slide from showing until the movie is finished.

Go to slide sorter view and turn OFF advance on mouse click and then turn on
advance after so many seconds. Set the time just a bit longer than the
video.

Thanks for your response, but I have tried that, and you can still advance to
the next slide and next movie by pressing any key.

What you want to do is probably a really good way of pissing off the
viewer.

Correct Steve, This is a training solution that requires the user to
complete the movie on each slide before going to the next one. If there is
no way to do this from within PowerPoints present capabilities, is there an
add-on that would allow me to do this, or could a VB macro be written to
control moving to the next slide?

We have a few things like this at work for our annual "ethics" training
and whatnot. But I think they generally resort to Macromedia Flash web
pages for this type of stuff. It is still very annoying - you can
lead a horse to water, but can't make him drink. When forced to watch
such a thing, I'll generally read a book, or surf the net, etc... - unless
there is some type of quiz at the end. Flash also handles the quiz section -
not sure if there is any way of doing that in PowerPoint?
