repeated animation path timing

[Frans]

Hi my friends,

I use an animationpath wich should repeat until next slide.
It's a gif (3 x 60 cm) I want to scroll along my slide vertically, from
bottom to top
So I attached a custom animation line from bottom to top, which is 57 cm long.
The start is set "with previous", it's the first animated item.
The speed is set to 10 sec. and it should repeat as long as the slide is
active.
I notice that it also takes 10 sec. to start the first animation and there's
10 sec. between the repeats.
This also happens without repeats. It's also independent from the activation.
But I just want a direct start and smooth repitition, without the delay.
Any suggestions?

Thanks

Frans

Frans,
One trick I have used to get around the delay is to animate the object
twice. Set the first animation to start with previous with no delay and to
run once. Set the second animation to run with previous with the 10 second
delay and the repeat set. The first animation will fire when you expect and
the first instance of the second animation 10 seconds later and repeat the
way you want.

Post back and let us know if this does what you need.

Hi Kathy,

Thanks for your trick, but it didn't work the way I want.
The trouble is, I think, that the speedsetting is also used for the delay of
the animation path movement; the longer the animation path line, the longer
the delay and I don't know if that's what Howie C. meant it to do?
I now just made a shorter animation path line, a longer scroll box, with a
13 sec. speed.
It looks good for me so far (and my boss:"wow!")

Bye,

Frans
