Join Mike Rankin for an in-depth discussion in this video Animating on a motion path, part of InDesign CS6: Interactive Documents.
Having the animation presets to work with is great.…It saves you the time and effort of creating animations from scratch.…The downside of working with presets is well, they are preset to do specific…things, and if those aren't the specific things you want, then you have to…do some customizing.…One way to customize an animation is to create your own motion paths.…So if I select this frame over here on the left, and look in the Animation…panel, I can see that it's currently using the Preset Fade In and the Event is On Page Load.…So it appears one second after the page loads.…
But we could experiment with other kinds of animation to bring people's…attention to this person's name.…For example, we could have that text frame come up by choosing Fly in from Bottom.…Let's choose that from the Preset menu, and we'll Preview.…Now that was a little too fast for my taste.…So let's go back to the Animation panel, and change the Duration.…Let's change it from 1 second to 5 seconds, and Preview again, and there's a slower effect.…

Q: I'm following along with the movie "Using a SWF slideshow in a PDF," but when I go to the Tools menu in Acrobat, there is no Multimedia option. Can you help me complete the tutorial?
A: With each new version of Acrobat, Adobe seems to enjoy moving commands to different menus, and sometimes renaming them. To remove the background in Acrobat XI, take the Selection tool (black arrow) and right-click anywhere in the window and choose Properties. This opens the Edit SWF dialog box where you can select Transparent Background in the Launch Settings. You can do the same thing by choosing Tools > Interactive Objects > Select Object and then double clicking anywhere on the SWF.
