If you want to create an animation with a complex path, it may be more efficient to record the path as you drag the layer rather than creating individual keyframes.
To create a timeline by dragging a path:
| 1 | Select a layer. |
| 2 | Move the layer to where it should be when animation begins. |
| Make sure you have selected the right element. Click the layer marker or use the Layer palette to select a layer. See also Manipulating layers. | |
| 3 | Choose Modify > Record Path of Layer. |
| 4 | Drag the layer around the page to create a path. |
| 5 | Release the mouse at the point where the animation should stop. |
| Dreamweaver adds an animation bar to the timeline with the appropriate number of keyframes. | |
| 6 | In the Timeline inspector, click the Rewind button; then hold down the Play button to preview your animation. |
