Animation

The actions in this section allow you to create dynamic, animated effects on your Web pages.

To set up a timed sequence

The Sequence Timer action lets you trigger up to 20 slave actions in sequence at a specified speed.

To display a random sequence

The Random Sequence action is identical to the Sequence Timer action, except that the triggers are performed in a random sequence.

To trigger several events after a specified delay

The Blast Timer action is similar to the Sequence Timer action, except that it triggers up to 20 slave actions simultaneously after a specified delay. For example, it can be used to cause several graphics to appear on the page simultaneously after a delay of five seconds.
