Custom Animation and VBA

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

Thanks for taking the time to read my question.

Is it possible to add custom animation to pictures in PPT?

I have about 300 pics that I want to put into a PPT presentation. Here is my
code so far. All I need to add is the Custom Animation settings to this but
I can't figure out how.

I've tried recording it as a macro but it doesn't record.

Thanks,

Brad

CODE:
Sub AddPics()
Dim FileScript, FolderPath, FileSet, FileSelection
Dim x As Integer
Dim ThePic As String
x = 2

Set FileScript = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set FolderPath = FileScript.GetFolder("D:\Pictures\Florence Birmingham\")
'Path here
Set FileSet = FolderPath.Files




For Each FileSelection In FileSet

ThePic = "D:\Pictures\Florence Birmingham\" & FileSelection.Name

If Right(ThePic, 3) <> "avi" Then


ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.Shapes.AddPicture(FileName:=ThePic,
LinkToFile:=msoFalse, SaveWithDocument:=msoTrue, Left:=0, Top:=0).Select
ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Top = 0
ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Left = 0
pHeight = ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Height
pWidth = ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Width
If pHeight < pWidth Then 'its wider
ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Width = 720
Else 'its taller
ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.Height = 540
End If


ActiveWindow.View.GotoSlide
Index:=ActivePresentation.Slides.Add(Index:=x,
Layout:=ppLayoutBlank).SlideIndex

x = x + 1

End If


Next

End Sub

The code depends on the version you have. Animation changed greatly with ppt
XP. If you have at least XP this page from Shyam should help
