Wipe Transition

The Wipe Transition action fades floating boxes and their visible content in and out using a "shutter effect."

To set up a Wipe Transition action:

1 In Layout mode, insert a floating box and provide some content. You can use a rollover button, a normal image, text, or form element.

2 If you use a normal image or text, select the object and click the New Link () button in the toolbar or the Image Inspector. In the inspector, replace empty reference with #.

3 Ctrl-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS) the Actions Track of the TimeLine Editor to insert an action marker, or select a mouse or key event. Click the + button in the Actions palette.

4 Choose the Wipe Transition option from the Multimedia submenu of the Action menu.

5 In the Floating box menu, choose the floating box you want to assign the action to. The floating boxes in the current page are named layer, layer 1, layer 2, and so on, unless you have renamed them in the Floating Box Inspector (see Setting up floating boxes).

6 Select an option from the Transition menu to determine the way the floating box will be wiped in or out.

7 Enter an integer in the Steps text box to determine the number of steps for the transition. The higher the number of steps, the smoother the transition appears.

8 Preview the action in a 4.0 browser.
