Create a timeline by dragging a path

If you want to create an animation with a complex path, it may be more efficient to record the path as you drag the AP element rather than creating individual keyframes.

  1. Select an AP element.
  2. Move the AP element to where it should be when animation begins.

    Make sure you have selected the AP element; if the insertion point is in the AP element, the AP element is not selected. To select an AP element, click the AP element marker or the AP element selection handle, or use the AP Elements panel.

  3. Select Modify > Timeline > Record Path Of AP element.
  4. Drag the AP element around the page to create a path.
  5. Release the AP element at the point where the animation should stop.

    Dreamweaver adds an animation bar to the timeline, containing the appropriate number of keyframes.

  6. In the Timelines panel, click the Rewind button; then hold down the Play button to preview your animation.
