Hi Gerry,

Suppose you want a ball to roll from one side of the screen to the other side. just put the ball at the corner and save the slide. copy the slide and move the ball a little to the center. Copy the slide again and move it a little more. Copy the slide again...till you reach the other corner.

Now, you want the ball to turn and not to be static. for this you will have to use an image editing program like Photoshop where you turn the image a bit, save, turn a bit more, save, and so on.

Now back to your slides. Change the images from the second slide on by order. On the second slide put the first image you made, on the next slide put the next image you made, and so on.

The quality of your show depends on how many slides you make, same as in regular animation.

If you have a program that can make your animation (I use Gif Constraction) you can make the animation you want, extract all the images, and use them. notice that you can't do it if the animation is transparent.

Download my "Dancing Skeleton" and see a presentation which is all a long animation, built in this way.

good luck

Pay close heed to Boxigs guidance in his setup procedure ... as he is a WIZARD when it comes to things flying and moving about in his presentations!

Thanks Stu,

Long time no see. Thailand was refreshing. You should try it.
