Making slide play url in presentation

[Heinzeroth]

I'm making a presentation for a speech class and want to include in a slide
apresentation from a website to play automatically when timed to my speech,
allthough I find I must click on the picture which embeds the url to it
always.

Is there anyway of making this play automatically in my presentation, also
when mouse click on it I get a popup box thru win XP with caution about
linking to url's.

Here's the url if you want to play with it for me!

mms://wm.gannett.speedera.net/wm.gannett/wkyc/cars.wmv

Strange URL. What's the real one?

Links must be clicked on to activate them. If you are linking to a WMV file,
then it's a video, not a presentation. Can you tell us more about exactly what
you are doing? How would it time itself to the spoken word, or are you using
recorded narration? I'm confused.

I am confused, are you playing a streaming media file in your presentation?
If so is it a hyperlink you are clicking on?

Yes, I have a pic using the action settings but must click on it to play the
video and while tying to rehearse timing og my slides is ok up to this point
but would like to know it would somehow be able to play automatically and
then close-out for next slide?

You'll have to click.
