Hi I want a group of buttons to advance position left or right (-x, x ). I don't want to use a motion path. I want to be able to add to the groups overall x value. So group.x = group.x + 10 to move right and -10 top move left. Is there a way to do this? JavaScript would be fine if it can be done that way.
Hey Luke! I'd have to defer to the community for ideas other than motion paths. I could see using a motion path with a relative start point, triggers and variables, that way you can recycle the motion paths without losing the buttons' place.
Tell us about why motion paths aren't a good idea for you, and that might be able to generate some more ideas!
And actually, I built an example slide for you with grouped shapes (which you could make into buttons). I used motion paths with relative start points which were triggered by button clicks (I wasn't sure how you were adding and subtracting 10, so you could trigger based upon the variable changing as well). Just throwing it out there! :)
Thanks for the help but this is not a fit to my needs. I am looking for something that moves the group a bit each time not run an animation along a path.
I need to find a way to talk directly to the position of the objects so that each time I click it moves a little.

You could use states that show the elements of the group in various x/y positions.
Hi Crystal,
I am not at my Articulate box at the moment I'll check this and tell you if it suits my purpose.
Thanks for the help.

Sounds good, Luke!
