Basically I have a four pictures stacked slightly.
I want to be able to click on one picture, the picture moves up the screen...and information is shown coming out of it. Then when ready, the user clicks on a 'close' button and it moves back into the original position.
And repeat for all four pics.
I can get it to move up and show info, but how to make it return to it's first position is a mystery.
I would add a second motion path and a trigger that when the object is in the 'up' position and the user clicks return the the object to its original position.
Thanks for reply but that doesn't work sadly. You cant choose a moved object...to move again in that new position. When you select a second motion path option, it's in its original position only.
I've added a screenshot to show.
Click on a photograph, it moves up...info is shown on the folder paper. Press close button. Moves back to start again.
Also have the issue of showing the correct info at the right time.
Only issue is - I need four. And each one has different text box shown when the user clicks on it and it rises to the top. Text 1 for picture 1. Text box 3 for picture 3.
I've tried a few ways to add the top to bottom motion path on the layer but I can't get it to work consistently. Have you thought of using another style like a flip card where the user clicks the photo and it would spin and show the text information then click again to hide the text.
Might give you an idea - otherwise Michael may chime in with the MP solution for you.
I'm probably oversimplifying things, but have a look at the attached. Is this not what you were asking about? Each object (could be a picture) has two motion paths; they are identical, except that one has the Reverse Path Direction enabled. One triggered motion path moves the object up, the other triggered path moves it back when the Close button is clicked.

I don't think it can be done personally.
Hi Jon
is this the effect you are after?
Beautifully, thanks Wendy.

Sorry - still learning.
Hi Jon
perhaps the text box could be a layer that appears then hides when the user clicks the top pic to go back down the slide - just a thought
Here's a rough example of what i mean - may or may not work for your requirements.
Thank you Wendy.
I've done it. Its rather complex....but it works!
Thank you
J
The things we do for a design idea...good luck with your project Jon ;-)
Ok I lied. HA! You can only click on it once, as it repeats the second motion path
Sorry I'm not following - only click what once?
If you click the picture once...It goes up. Click again, it goes down...
Click it again, it breaks.

That is exactly it. Thank you Michael. Trying to work out how you did it now.
Thanking you very much
