LM1: Start Hold Setting Doesn’t Work with AutoEffects

================================================================ ==

The information in this article applies to:

 == Microsoft Liquid Motion for Windows 1.0 == 

= SYMPTOMS =

When you preview your animation in Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0, your AutoEffects play at the wrong time. If you specified a Start Hold setting for the AutoEffect, one part of the AutoEffect plays during the Start Hold.

NOTE: This behavior applies to Bubbles, Twirlers, and Sparkles.

One Sparkle, Bubble, or Twirler shoes up for the duration of the hold and then the AutoEffect starts.

= RESOLUTION =

To work around this behavior, use a Timing Offset instead of a Start Hold setting. To do this, follow these steps:


 * 1) Select the AutoEffect.
 * 2) On Edit menu, click Properties.
 * 3) Click the Timing tab.
 * 4) In the “Offset +/- Settings” box, type “5.0”(without the quotation marks).
 * 5) Click the TimeEffects tab.
 * 6) In the Hold box, in the Start section, enter “0.0” (without the quotation marks).
 * 7) On the File menu, click Save.

= STATUS =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
