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. In the Property Inspector, type a name for the image in the Name text box. For example, My_Image.

  3. Clear the Visible check box.

  4. Select Insert > Standard Objects > Button.

  5. In the Action area of the Property Inspector, select Show in the On Success list, and then select My_Image in the Show list.

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