Move By


The Move By action moves a floating box horizontally and/or vertically by a user-specified offset.

To set up a Move By action in the TimeLine Editor or attach it to an image, a rollover button, hyperlink text, or form element:

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 Move By from the Multimedia submenu of the Action menu.

3 Choose the floating box you want to drag from the Floating Box pop-up menu. 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 Click the small icon next to the Floating Box option to specify how the floating box parameters will be supplied.

The red "C" icon () (default) lets you enter your own constant values. The green question mark icon () lets you choose an action. The blue ball icon () lets you select a variable defined in the page.

5 If you use constants:

  • Enter the number of pixels that you want to move the floating box horizontally in the DeltaX text box.
  • Enter the number of pixels that you want to move the floating box vertically in the DeltaY text box.

    • 6 Preview the action in a 4.0 browser.
