Powerpoint slide events

[kylua]

Hello all

I am trying to start code when a powerpoint slide comes in. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be an event within VBA, or if it is, I can't find it.

Basically, I want to get a Flash intro to reset itself to frame one and start playing when that slide starts. I've got all the code, that's not a problem, I just don't know where to put it! At the moment I've tried it with 'get focus' for the Flash object, and I've got it set to an action button, but neither are any good as it still starts where it left off in the last presentation. And any changes to the properties of the flash object are kept when the presentation is exited.
I can't do a keyboard shortcut to a macro which was another option.
So a slideshow start event, or a slide open event would be very handy!

Thanks

You can use Application events, see "Using Events with the Application Object" in PP VBA help file. As in other office applications, you have to create new class to handle events and initialise it. After that, SlideShowBegin and other events can be trapped.
