Animation question

[untitled1100]

Hi!

I would like to make two arrows do the same movement at the same time. Is
there a way I can sort of "merge" the two images to form one single object
that I can animate? Or perhaps there's a way to create a kind of "joint
animation" for two objects to perform at the same time?

Thanks for your help,

Jamie

It's not entirely clear what you mean.

I'm guessing that you want to add the same motion path to two objects?
If so just use ctrl click to select both and add the path in custom
animations.

Get back if this isn't it.

Thanks for the fast replies!

Well when I select the two arrows I can assign a "fade in" animation but
when playing it, one arrow fades in first then the other one does. I want
them both to fade in at the same time. So I guess either I need to have them
at the same spot in the "object order" - which would create a kind of "joint
animation" - or I would need to merge the two arrow objects into one and then
assign "fade in" to that newly created object.

Sorry if i wasn't very clear... I hope that's better now! :S

I'm currently using PowerPoint for Mac.

Thanks again,

Jamie

Try setting the second animation on the list to happen "With Previous"
instead of "On Click" or "After Previous". That should get you what you are
looking for!

argh! i don't have the option "with previous"... only "on click" and "x
seconds after previous"...!



do you know if there's another way to select "with previous"?

thx!

Hi

Don't have a Mac but it sounds similar to PPT 2000 in a PC

Can you select both arrows > group and then animate the group
