Move To


The Move To action is a "one-way" version of Flip Move (see Flip Move). It moves a floating box to a user-specified position, where it remains for the rest of the browser session.

To set up a Move To 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 To 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.

4 Click the Floating Box option and specify how to supply the floating box parameters.

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:
  • Use the Pos text box to edit the end point for the Move To action, or drag the floating box to the desired end point and click Get to use those coordinates for the end position. The start point is implicit--that is, Adobe GoLive assumes you want the animation to start where the floating box is located before you define the end point.
  • 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.

    • 6 Make sure the Anim option is selected. Preview the action in a 4.0 browser.
