Flip Move

When triggered for the first time, the Flip Move action moves a floating box to a user-specified position. When triggered for the second time, it moves the floating box back to its start point. For example, you can attach this action to a button to let the viewer flip an object into view that is initially hidden behind the edge of the page and flip it back out of sight again.

To set up a Flip Move action:

1 Ctrl-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS) the Actions Track of the TimeLine Editor to insert an action marker, or select a mouse or key event and click the + button in the Actions palette.

2 Choose Flip Move from the Multimedia submenu of the Action menu.

3 Choose the floating box you want to drag from the Floating Box pop-up. The floating boxes in the current page are named layer, layer 1, layer 2, and so on, unless you have renamed them in the Floating Box Inspector (see Setting up floating boxes).

4 Use the Pos1 and Pos2 text boxes to edit the start and end points for the flip move action, or drag the floating box to the desired start point and click Get to use those coordinates for Pos1. Repeat for Pos2 to determine the end point.

5 Make sure that the Anim option is selected.

6 Enter a value in the Ticks text box to specify animation speed. One tick equals 1/60 of a second. The higher the number of ticks, the slower the object moves.

7 Preview the action in a 4.0 browser.
