Set up horizontal motion for an object

Use the Horizontal Position option on the Animation menu to move an object horizontally as a tag value or the results of an expression change. The horizontal position of the object is proportional to the value of the expression. For example, if the value of the expression is halfway between its minimum and maximum values, the horizontal position of the object will be halfway between its minimum and maximum horizontal offset positions.
TIP:
If a group object and the objects within a group object have horizontal animation set up, animation results for the individual objects and the group are combined. Be sure to test group animation to ensure that it produces the effect you intend.
To set up horizontal motion for an object:
  1. In the
    Graphics
     editor, right-click the object and then click
    Animation
     >
    Horizontal Position
    .
  2. In the
    Animation
     dialog box, in the
    Horizontal Position
     tab, in the
    Expression
     field, type a tag name or an expression that will return numeric values at runtime.
    You can also click
    Tag
     to browse for a tag, or click
    Expression
     to open the
    ExpressionEditor
     to create one.
  3. Specify
    Expression Range
    , and
    Horizontal offset (Pixels)
    , as described in the options below. You can also use the Object Smart Path feature to set these values.
