How to animate images and add colour/texture to slides

Thanks for that.
Yes, I am using Captivate 2.

Ideally I would like my logo to move from A to B on the same slide. I imagine that the zoom effect will animate the logo as if someone were running a magnifying glass along it - is that correct?

Hi PPMart

Hey, which is sillier? Asking for help with something you aren't familiar with or sitting silently and being frustrated when all you had to do is ask? Personally. I find the latter to be the sillier approach.

Okay, on to your questions!

If you are referring to animating your company logo in the manner where it repeatedly performed some visual movement, I'm guessing the answer here is that you would indeed need some Flash skills for that. However, if you just wanted to perhaps animate the logo across the screen into its resting position, you could easily accomplish this (assuming you are using Captivate version 2) using the new Zoom Area object. (Insert > Zoom Area...)

For adding color/texture to slides, you would normally do this using the Slide Background attribute. Right-click the slide of your choosing and click Properties... from the context menu. Once there, (again, if you are using Captivate 2) click the Change background image... button to select an image to use, or if you just want a color, forget about the button and click the box next to the Custom option and choose your desired color.

Hope this was helpful... Rick
