Popup Using Triggers/Animations

Apr 30, 2013

Hi,

I'm trying to create a pseudo-popup window using triggers and animations. First, a trigger with appear animations and then another on a close button with disappear animations. However, the objects appear onscreen when the slide begins playing even though there appear animations should not yet have been triggered. Help?

Thanks!

Hi Shylah,

Entrance animations will start as soon as the object appears on the slide and the timeline. If I'm understanding you correctly, it sounds like you're trying to trigger this effect. Is that right? If so, I'm not sure how you'd go about doing this. 

Can you give a little more information or share the .STORY file, so I can get a better idea of what you'd like to happen with the popup? 

Thanks!

Hi Shylah,

Ah, shoot, sorry about that!

Not sure why I was thinking you were using Storyline. I apologize. In that case, ignore what I stated earlier :)

Can you tell me what type of animations you're using? Can you confirm they're supported PowerPoint animations, please?

Here's an article that covers both the unsupported and supported PowerPoint animations for Presenter:

Thanks very much, Shylah. And sorry for the misinterpretation again!
