ABSTRACT:
A movement path is defined for a multimedia object in an application development environment. A multimedia object is placed in a layout area of the application development environment. A movement path is then specified within the layout area for the object using a pointing device. The object may either be dragged along the movement path by the pointing device or individual points may be selected with the pointing device to define the movement path. Once the path has been defined, the path may be easily modified. The user may add or delete points by simply selecting a point with the pointing device for addition or deletion. In addition, the user may combine two or more movement paths into one.
