Working with 'on-click' PowerPoint animations
Jun 09, 2015

Hi Leslie,
I need to create an ‘on-click’ animation that makes and object appear and disappear on a PowerPoint slide. The slide has audio. The audio should play continuously regardless of the animation.
I am trying to do this using the appear and disappear animations in PowerPoint and adding the audio through the articulate tab in PowerPoint. When I preview this slide the audio works fine but the animation executes itself automatically after 5 seconds. It is not starting ‘on-click’. Is there any way to make the animation appear/disappear when I click on the mouse?
Also, is there any way to allow the user to repeat this animation as many times as he wants while he is still on the current slide?
Thank you!

Hi Marcelo!
On click animations have a setting that will set the delay of the animations, it is not truly on-click.
You can check out some information here on those settings here.
If you truly want to utilize on click, then you need to split it to separate slides.
I tried before using separate slides and hyperlinks but the problem I had is that the audio (narration) starts and stops each time you jump from slide to slide. Is there any way to prevent that from happening?
Hi Marcelo! Not sure if this thread will be able to assist you with this question. Are you adding the narration to the playlist?
Adding the narration to the playlist works. The narration does not stop each time you jump from slide to slide. The only downside is that you cannot stop or replay the narration on those slides. I think this is still a better option than having interruptions in the narration.
Thank you for the help.
No problem Marcelo! Glad that you were able to find something that would work for you :)
