How to sync avatar swf with onscreen text in slide

[senthilbabu]

hi,

How to sync avatar swf with onscreen text in slide? Currently we creating avatar as swf files by using media semantics and inserting in the presenter panel. We are not able to sync the files with onscreen text.

Any one have solution for that?

In Presenter, the appearance of on-screen text is married to the audio for that screen; your audio is married to the SWF in the presenter panel.

There are two ways to address this. First, you could add a silent audio file to the screen (the same length of the SWF's audio) and use the sync animations feature to time the appearance of your text. Getting the timing right would take some work, depending on the complexity of the screen.

Second, in PowerPoint, you can manually time each section of on-screen text. Under Custom Animation, set the first block of text to run on mouse click, and all the others to run After Previous. Then use the drop down menu for each animation and select "timing." You'll have to enter the number of seconds to delay the appearance of each block of text to correspond to the avatar.

One last thing you'll need to do is this: in Library and Options, under the Other tab, set the "on mouse click animations without set timings" to 1. This will get your first animation to run.

I hope this helps!

Best Regards,

Dave
