Click sequence vs. triggered click in advancing slides **premature

[Epinn]

Let's say slide transition is on mouse click and all animations start after
previous.

If I click **prematurely** i.e. before the animations are finished, I have
different effects for clicking on the slide and on the action button
respectively.

Click sequence: First click will display the rest of the slide (text and
pictures) **without animation**. (I have one object with faded zoom for
entrance and exit, that object won't show. Interesting!) The second click
will advance slide.

Triggered click: As soon as I click on the action button, I see the next
slide. It won't finish off displaying the rest of the text/picutres.

I wonder what is happening here. Appreciate comments/advice.

Trigger is a feature that allows object/s to be animated only when a specific
object on the Slide Show is clicked.

Shawn,

Yes, I understand that. I read your tutorial before I post. I have no
problem with triggered click in my experiment. I just don't understand why
the click sequence won't advance to the next slide on the **first** click. I
am surprised that it actually finishes off diaplaying. Sorry, I didn't state
my query in a more specific way previously.

Thank you for sharing. I enjoy the new items you added to your web site
lately.

Please send me a copy of your sample file to pptheaven[at]gmail[dot]com,
thanks.
