Controlling the visibility of objects

You can hide an object on a slide, and define conditions that must be satisfied for the object to be displayed.

The following example illustrates how to hide an image on a slide until the user clicks the Show Image button.

  1. Select Insert > Image to insert an image on the slide.

  2. Right-click the image, and select Properties from the menu.

  3. In the Image dialog box, click the Options tab.

    1. In the Item Name field, enter My_Image.

    2. Deselect the Visible option.

    3. Click OK.

  4. Select Insert > Standard Objects > Button.

  5. In the New Button dialog box, do the following:

    1. In the If The User Clicks On The Button: On Success menu, select Show.

    2. In the Show menu, select My_Image.

    3. Click OK.

When you play the movie, the image appears only when you click the button.
