Represents timing information about a slide animation.
Example
Use the AddEffect method to add an effect. This example adds a shape to the first slide in the active presentation and adds an effect and a behavior to the shape.
Visual Basic for Applications
Sub NewShapeAndEffect()
Dim shpStar As Shape
Dim sldOne As Slide
Dim effNew As Effect
Set sldOne = ActivePresentation.Slides(1)
Set shpStar = sldOne.Shapes.AddShape(Type:=msoShape5pointStar, _
Left:=150, Top:=72, Width:=400, Height:=400)
Set effNew = sldOne.TimeLine.MainSequence.AddEffect(Shape:=shpStar, _
EffectId:=msoAnimEffectStretchy, Trigger:=msoAnimTriggerAfterPrevious)
With effNew
With .Behaviors.Add(msoAnimTypeScale).ScaleEffect
.FromX = 75
.FromY = 75
.ToX = 0
.ToY = 0
End With
.Timing.AutoReverse = msoTrue
End With
End Sub
To refer to an existing Effect object, use MainSequence (index), where index is the number of the Effect object in the Sequence collection. This example changes the effect for the first sequence and specifies the behavior for that effect.
Visual Basic for Applications
Sub ChangeEffect()
With ActivePresentation.Slides(1).TimeLine _
.MainSequence(1)
.EffectType = msoAnimEffectSpin
With .Behaviors(1).RotationEffect
.From = 100
.To = 360
.By = 5
End With
End With
End Sub
