User Guide
Make sure your page has a layer with content within it or visible properties before you create the action. Trigger the
action with a user-triggered or timeline-triggered event. Choose Action > Multimedia > Flip Move. Choose the layer
you want to move from the Layer pop-up menu. The text boxes adjacent to Position 1 represent the location (Left
and Top values) the layer will be moved to when the action is first triggered. Either enter the left and top values in
the text boxes, or move the layer to the desired location and click Get to retrieve its current Left and Top coordinates.
Position 2 represents the location the layer will be moved to when the action is triggered a second time. Enter the
values, or move the layer to the desired location and click Get.
To make the layer slide to each location, select the Animation option, and enter a positive integer in the Ticks text
box to specify the animation speed. One tick equals 1/60 of a second. The higher the number of ticks, the slower the
movement. If Animation is not selected, the layer instantly appears in each specified location when the action is
triggered.
Float Layer
The Float Layer action locks a layer's position relative to the browser window as the viewer scrolls the page.
Make sure your page has a layer with content within it or visible properties before you create the action.
Important: Internet Explorer 4.5 and earlier will not see the layer in the specified position unless a Move To action is set
up for the layer before the Float Layer action. The Float Layer action will work in other browsers whether or not there is
a Move To action in the page.
Trigger the action with a browser-triggered action set to OnLoad, user-triggered or timeline-triggered event. Choose
Action > Multimedia > Float Layer. Select the layer name from the pop-up menu. Enter the desired position to lock
the layer in the Page Position text boxes. (The values use pixel units.)

last appeared.

the action with a browser-triggered event set to OnLoad, user-triggered or timeline-triggered event. Choose
