Macros do not work as object actions

[Damianos]

Hi,

I recorded some macros and running them with Alt-F8 works
fine.

But if I want to bind a macro to an object as an action
when I click it, the macro is not started. I've tried all
security levels but it does not even enter the macro.

Any hint?
Thanks, Damianos

Are you clicking on it during Slide Show mode instead of Edit mode? Are the
actions something that can be done in Slide Show mode? If not, that will be
the problem.

HTH,
Glenna

This FAQ does work, assuming you can code http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00159.ht
I was stumped with this. I am trying to create a Blockbusters (Quiz game in UK - probably from the US originally) type hexagon grid. Where I want to change the colour of a hexagon if I click on it
The following code is pretty close to what I want to do - but its a real pain because I think I have to recreate this piece of code for each hexagon. I would much rather be able to identify the object on which I clicked and pass this as a parameter to a colour changing routine

Sub toggle_shape4(

.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 255, 102
End I
.Fill.Soli

End Su
