Re: Creating animated icons

Cute idea.

I don't think it can be done in pure PowerPoint, I think you'll need to use
a movie file as well. Becomes fairly straight forward with a movie,
although movies in PowerPoint can be problematic.

Basic set-up:
Slide 1 - Welcome - blah -blah blah

Slide 2 - Index - Image of a bookcase with several books labeled. Areas
over the books hyper-linked to Chapter Title slides (in this example, slide
15). Area over the trash can linked to 'End Show'

.....

Slide 15 - Chapter Title slide - Exact same appearance as the bookcase
slide - No transition - Movie auto-start plays over showing the book pulled
from the shelf and opened to blurry page. Slide auto-advance 0:01

Slide 16 - Smooth fade to focused image of your page of the book

Slide 17 - Chapter detail slide (insert additional slides ere)

Slide 18 - Chapter end - hyperlink 'Back to library'

....

Repeat chapter sections (slides 15-18) at will


The movie that is played in all the chapter title slides is set to auto-play
and the slide is set to auto-advance after the movie plays. So the user
clicks the book in the Index slide, jumps to the Chapter title, the movie
plays, and fades to the 1st page in the chapter (1 user click, 3 actions).

I am working on an electornic portfolio and my professor wants it in
powerpoint. In my table of contents I will have an icon to represent each
page and when you click on the icon it will take you to that page. My
question is...If I use a balloon (for example) as my icon, is there a way
to
make it pop across the whole page before it takes you the page it is
linked
to? Another example... Books sitting on a book shelf and each book
represents a link and when you click on the binder of the book it opens
and
takes you to the page it is linked to. I have asked a few computer shops
around town and they can't seem to help me.

Thanks!
Carol
