vary motion path speeds in loops

[Teaphy]

I would like to vary the speed of a motion path that runs continously in a
loop. Imagine a square, the rising part is fast, the top horizontal part is
slower, the falling part even slower, the bottom home stretch is the slowest.
Then it repeats until the slide ends. This mimics convection in liquids.

How about setting up 4 seperate motion paths (up, right, down, left) with
each one at slower speeds (fast, medium, slow, very slow). You could
replicate the object 4 times one for each motion and have each object fade
out after its motion while the next object fades in simultaneously.

The problem here would be looping the full motion. You might try several
slides grouped as a summary show you call from the main show a number of
times.

Teaphy,
As Tony suggested you can do this easily by creating seperate motion paths.
However then you will not be able to get the repeat animation. You will need
to create as many sets of animations as the number of the loops you wish to
perform.

However one other way is to edit a hardcoded value stored within the
animation information. If you need an example of the same, mail me at the
