Problem with a GIF animation starting multiple times

[milpinkf]

Hi!!!

I'm working with a slide, in which I have 1 animated GIF, and 3 SmartShapes, with texts in each of them.

The GIF starts at the very begining and the other 3 elements come in with Fade in and Easy In.

The GIF animation is suppused to play along the whole slide, while the other objects came in. But everytime an object appears, the GIF animation starts from the begining, and in the last object, plays continiously till the end.

Is there a way to solve this?

The animation is prepared to be somekind of "sinchronized" with this text boxes coming in.

Thanks!
