SL2: How can I move AND grow an object?
Dec 03, 2014

Here's the challenge:
An image of a glass pot on a stove. The pot is filled with water. As I turn up the heat, bubbles form on the bottom and begin to rise, but collapse before reaching the surface. Continuing to increase the heat, more bubbles form and grow and some move all the way to the surface and pop. Adding more heat produces rapid boiling.
The issue is, mainly, how to grow a bubble, while it is traveling on a curvy path. This is driving me nuts. I've looked at the tutorials and just when I think I understand it, I can't make it work.
Any suggestions or guidance would be a boon.
Thanx!

You could combine an entrance animation (e.g. grow) with a motion path. See here a rather crude example: http://dev.keypointlearn.com/xcl73_SL2/Bubbles/V1/story.html
Hello Skip!
Hopefully Michaels example will work for your needs.
And thanks for sharing Michael!
Hello Michael,
The link is not working anymore. Please check.
Hello Michael,
It seems to me that when the trigger is 'when timeline starts', the combination of move and grow works.
But, when you use a different trigger like 'when user clicks', the move action cancels the grow animation.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thank you.
Hello Caesar - not sure if Michael is still subscribed to the thread here as it is a bit dated. Just wanted to mention that you could reach out to the user directly via the 'Contact Me' option on the user profile if needed.
