CHAPTER 9 – Animation
Horizontal Move
Objects can be animated by moving either left or right. This is specified using the Move (Horizontal)
dialog.
To access the Move (Horizontal) dialog to add an action, select Move (Horizontal) from the
animation list and click the Add Action button on the toolbar. To access the Move (Horizontal)
dialog to modify an action, select Move (Horizontal) from the animation list and click the Modify
Action button on the toolbar. Refer to the Script Reference chapter 10, Objects, for a list of the
objects to which this action is applicable.
On selection of the Move (Horizontal) action, the Move (Horizontal) dialog is displayed:
To define the animation, an expression consisting of a number of operators and operands (which may
be based on the status of a point) must be entered in the Expression: field. The boundaries in which
the object moves are inserted into the Active Expression Range/Required Position: fields. The
Maximum Offset specifies the number of pixels to the right (from its initial position) that the object
moves when the result of the expression reaches the Maximum Value. The Minimum Offset specifies
the number of pixels to the left (from its initial position) that the object moves, when the result of the
expression reaches the Minimum Value. A value within the maximum and minimum values results in
a proportionate movement between the left and right positions.
To abort the Horizontal Move definition, click the Cancel pushbutton. By clicking the Browse
pushbutton, a point may be directly specified, as described in chapter 9, Runtime Actions. Once
completed, click the OK pushbutton. If invalid data has been inserted into any field, a descriptive
error message is displayed.
