editing in the PowerPoint Script editor

[Guest]

Is it possible to alter parameters in an animation script to enable different
speeds along a particular series of motion paths. You can do this without
editing scripts, but not if you want to repeat indefinitely. I want to move
an object from A to B (at speed 1), then B to C (at speed 2), pause at C (for
a specific time), then move back to A (at speed 3). This action to repeat
indefinitely.

Hi,

You can edit parameters but may not get what you want. What can be changed
there is much easier to do in PowerPoint itself, and a lot more stable. The
editor is really for changing parameters that will go to the web.

I just thought that some functionality like keyTimes, keySplines would be
available but not implemented in PP itself. I can't seem to find any
documentation about which aspects of SMIL or SVG Microsoft have implemented.
Do you know of any??

Hi Ted,

I've had a muck but am in the dark as well. It makes a lot more sense to do
that kind of stuff with vba. Using vba (and I must admit some professional
help) I created about five animations in a set that had only one Task Pane
entry.
