Shrink and Motion Path...at the same time!

Hi Kelly,

The issue here is that SHRINK is an exit animation, so the timing of when that animation occurs is off. You have to take into account:

- the duration the animated object is on screen (timeline) - this affects when the animation starts
- the duration of the object's animation
- when the motion path begins and ends
- the duration of the motion path

I have made some adjustments to give you an example and attached it here.

Changes:
- adjusted the object timeline to end at 2.5 seconds
- set the object's exit animation for 2 seconds

Then I followed the remaining steps:
- grouped the object with the transparent object
- added a 2 second motion path to the group

You can play around to get the right timing for the effect and for the duration you want it to be on screen.

In order to grow the green box again, you might have a couple of options. Here are my thoughts.
-A. You might consider an additional layer that doesn't have the shrink and motion path on it. Then add the needed objects and animations that are triggered by clicking the Information button.
-B. You might be able to make another object that is in a Hidden State until you click the Information button. Then when you click the button have the hidden object set to become a different state that is no longer hidden and has a grow animation.

You'll have to play around and see what works. Good luck and let me know if I can be of help.
