How are your PowerPoint skills?

Bit of an odd request. I have a number, for example 12345, and I want it to basically roll onto the screen in the same way a fruit machine or a slot machine would. So perhaps the 5 would roll and then eventually land on 5, and then the 4, and so on until 12345 is displayed.

I can't think for the life of me how I'd go about doing that, and I can't think what to google for to bring up any help.

Any ideas? Doesn't exactly need to be created within PowerPoint, but whatever I insert does need to work within PowerPoint.

Cheers.

I've got an idea Mikey. On my way to work and will post when I get there.

Okay great. Look forward to hearing it because I've got nothing!

I think I've got it sorted Mikey. You want to just PM your email and I'll send the slide?

Here's what it looks like:



It can be resized and those borders removed too.

But tell us how you did it Ygrene!

Alright alright!



I used two sets of numbers: A. The number that you see in the box and B. a corresponding number that sits above the box. Both numbers are animated to fly in, it's just that they have different destinations. The animation on the number above the box repeats. The animation of the number in the box runs just once. The area above and below the borders is a shape with a color fill of white. Both numbers (above and in the box) are layered behind the white fill shape - that way you only see them when they pass through or stop in the box. The rest of it is just timing the animation.

What a fuckin' dreamboat you are.

That's pretty damn creative dude.

Skills. I've seen something done similar before where someone got a flat map of the world to repeatedly scroll across the screen, only he put a big white circular border around it so it ended up looking like a spinning globe. I was sort of thinking about how I might be able to apply that to this scenario but would never had known how to go about actioning it so didn't even give it a second thought. Obviously I was wrong.

Cheers for your time.
