Syntax
expression.FromX
expression A variable that represents a ScaleEffect object.
Return Value
Single
Remarks
The default value of this property is Empty, in which case the current position of the object is used.
Use this property in conjunction with the ToX property to resize or jump from one position to another.

Sub AddMotionPath() Dim effCustom As Effect Dim animMotion As AnimationBehavior Dim shpRectangle As Shape 'Adds shape and sets effect and animation properties Set shpRectangle = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes _ .AddShape(Type:=msoShapeRectangle, Left:=100, _ Top:=100, Width:=50, Height:=50) Set effCustom = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).TimeLine.MainSequence _ .AddEffect(Shape:=shpRectangle, effectId:=msoAnimEffectCustom) Set animMotion = effCustom.Behaviors.Add(msoAnimTypeMotion) 'Sets starting and ending horizontal and vertical positions With animMotion.MotionEffect .FromX = 0 .FromY = 0 .ToX = 50 .ToY = 50 End With End Sub
