Looping Video Intro won't transition to next slide

[Sleepless in Seattle]

I have a cool little looping animation (.mpeg2 video) that I did in a 3D app,
and wanted to simply have it repeat, over and over, at the beginning of the
presentation until I clicked the mouse button to advance to the next
slide,...The problem is, it will NOT advance to the next slide! I've tried
everything I can think of in regard to tweaking the 'custom animation' timing
functions,...I've even tried setting up separate movie-action-click-events,
but nothing works,...any advice here would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in
advance.

Does the video clip occupy the whole of the screen area?

If so, by clicking the mouse you are probably just stopping and starting the
clip.

Leave a little area of the screen no covered by the clip, then click this
blank area to advance.

What TAJ said. Or you can press Enter key on your keyboard instead of mouse
click to advance.

Thanks TAJ !

That was it,...Was drivin' me crazy! I wanted to have full-frame playback of
the intro, but I found a workaround that suffices by incorporating similarly
colored background. Also, I rendered a couple of tiny little versions of the
looping animation and stuck them in the corners of other slides (tieing all
the slides together) and they look and function great. Thanks for your help!
