Make sure your page has a layer 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 > Move By. Choose the layer
you want to move from the Layer pop-up menu. Enter values in the DeltaX and DeltaY text boxes. (DeltaX represents
the distance in pixels to move the layer to the right, and DeltaY is the distance to move the layer down.) Or to retrieve
values from a variable, click the small red “C” icon
adjacent to the Message text box to change it to a blue circle
icon , and choose a variable from the pop-up menu. To retrieve text from a browser-triggered action set to OnCall
in the head section, click the icon again to change it to a question mark , and select an action from the pop-up
menu.

Move To
The Move To action moves a layer to a new position on the page.
Make sure that your page has a layer 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 > Move To. Choose the
layer you want to move from the Layer pop-up menu.
Enter values in the Position text boxes (the first text box represents the distance in pixels to move the layer to the
right, and the right text box is the distance to move the layer down), or move the layer to the desired location and
click Get. Or, to retrieve values from a variable, click the small red “C” icon
adjacent to the Message text box to
change it to a blue circle icon , and choose a variable from the pop-up menu. To retrieve text from a browser­
triggered action set to OnCall in the head section, click the icon again to change it to a question mark icon , and
select an action from the pop-up menu.
To make the layer slide to the new location, select the Animated option, and enter a positive integer in the Ticks text
box to define the animation speed. One tick equals 1/60 of a second. The higher the number of ticks, the slower the
movement. If Animated is not selected, the layer instantly appears in the new location when the action is triggered.

Play Scene and Stop Scene
The Play Scene and Stop Scene actions let you manage the playback of single-scene or multiple scene animations
created in the DHTML Timeline Editor. You can control multiple-scene animations dynamically by creating
timeline-triggered Play Scene and Stop Scene actions or let the viewer control scene playback when they click buttons
on the page.
Make sure the page has one or more scenes in it before you create the Play Scene or Stop Scene action. Trigger the
action with a user-triggered or timeline-triggered event. Choose Action > Multimedia > Play Scene or Stop Scene.
Inserting a Stop Scene action is a good practice before inserting a Play Scene action; it stops any other animation that
may still be playing when the viewer clicks the Play button. To set up a Stop Scene action or Play Scene action, choose
the scene you want the browser to stop or play back from the Scene pop-up menu.
