Remarks

Setting this property to msoTrue sets the Animate property of the AnimationSettings object to msoTrue. Setting the Animate property to msoFalse automatically sets the PlayOnEntry property to msoFalse.

Use the ActionVerb property to set the verb that will be invoked when the media clip is animated.

Example

This example specifies that shape three on slide one in the active presentation will be played automatically when it's animated. Shape three must be a sound or movie object.

Set OLEobj = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes(3)
OLEobj.AnimationSettings.PlaySettings.PlayOnEntry = msoTrue
