Kiosk presentation of multiple powerpoints

D

David

I want to run a series of powerpoints on an unattended screen, for
passers by to watch, or interact with. My plan is to have one Master
powerpoint, which advances every 5 secs and continously loops, where
each slide offers a selection of action buttons, and if activated by
mouse click, hyperlinks to a specific ppt and runs it. When it
finishes, the Master powerpoint advances to the next slide, which
automatically launches another ppt.
So if undisturbed, the Master ppt will show eight other ppts in
sequence, but for five seconds, between each ppt, a screen with action
buttons appears, so that the user can select any one of the eight.
The problem I have is embedding a command in a slide that will cause
the jump to another ppt. (With a presenter, mouse clicking an action
button would do this).
The Microsoft script editor shows that an action button is acted on
with the line:
<p:eek:nmouseclick hyperlinktype="otherPresentation"
Is there an alternative command to "onmouseclick" that doesn't need
human intervention?
Is there some form of scheduler in Powerpoint that can do this?
Or can anyone advise an alternative solution?
