Flip Move


    When triggered for the first time, the Flip Move action moves a floating box to a new specified position. When triggered for the second time, it moves the floating box to a second specified position that can be the original starting location or a new location. For example, you can attach this action to a button to let the viewer flip an object into view that is initially hidden beyond the edge of the browser window and flip it back out of sight again.

    Make sure your page has a floating box 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 floating box you want to move from the Floating Box pop-up menu. The text boxes adjacent to Position 1 represent the location (Left and Top values) the floating box will be moved to when the action is first triggered. Either enter the left and top values in the text boxes, or move the floating box to the desired location and click Get to retrieve its current Left and Top coordinates. Position 2 represents the location the floating box will be moved to when the action is triggered a second time. Enter the values, or move the floating box to the desired location and click Get.

    To make the floating box 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 floating box instantly appears in each specified location when the action is triggered.
