Click Inspector in the toolbar and click the Build button.

Click Action.

On a slide, select an object (an image, shape, text box, chart, movie or other media file, or table).

Choose Move from the Effect pop-up menu.

On the slide canvas, a red line connected to a “ghosted” (transparent) version of the object appears, showing the object’s destination.

To modify the path, do any of the following:

Change the direction or distance the object moves by dragging the ghosted object to the next position.

Change the path from straight to curved by clicking the curved Path button in the Build inspector.

Reshape the path’s curvature by dragging one of its nodes or node handles (double-click a node to make its handles appear). For more control, click a node (a point on a path) and drag its handles.

Add a node (point) to a path by holding down the Option key while you click the path (when the pointer looks like a pen tip). You can then reshape the curvature of the path at this node by dragging it or one of its handles.

Control the object’s acceleration by choosing an option from the Acceleration pop-up menu in the Build inspector.

Move the entire path segment (along with its beginning and endpoints) by dragging the path.

To move the object along a new path segment, click the Add Path button on the ghosted object (a red square with a white plus (+) sign in it) or click the Add Action button in the Build inspector.

To reorder the stages of the action build, click More Options (if the Build Drawer isn’t open) and drag builds in the Build Order drawer. (For more information, see Reordering Object Builds.)
