Example

Use the MotionEffect propety of the AnimationBehavior object to return a MotionEffect object. The following example refers to the motion effect for a given animation behavior.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  ActivePresentation.Slides(1).TimeLine.MainSequence.Item.Behaviors(1).MotionEffect

Use the ByX , ByY , FromX , FromY , ToX , and ToY properties of the MotionEffect object to construct a motion path. The following example adds a shape to the first slide and creates a motion path.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Sub AddMotionPath()

Dim shpNew As Shape
Dim effNew As Effect
Dim aniMotion As AnimationBehavior

Set shpNew = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes _
    .AddShape(Type:=msoShape5pointStar, Left:=0, _
    Top:=0, Width:=100, Height:=100)
Set effNew = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).TimeLine.MainSequence _
    .AddEffect(Shape:=shpNew, effectId:=msoAnimEffectCustom, _
    Trigger:=msoAnimTriggerWithPrevious)
Set aniMotion = effNew.Behaviors.Add(msoAnimTypeMotion)

With aniMotion.MotionEffect
    .FromX = 0
    .FromY = 0
    .ToX = 500
    .ToY = 500
End With



End Sub
