This must be be...
How to I animate an object and later in the sequence animate it again (with a possible difference animation), e.g.
I have a rectangle appear, then I display some text, then fade out that rectangle.
Thanks,
Gerold

Re: Animating an object a second time
Hi Gerold,
Currently you can't apply multiple animations to elements directly. That will be coming in the next major update, when we add a proper timeline to HelpXplain. However, you can still achieveit now with a trick: Groups can have their own animations applied to the entire group. So what you do is apply one animation to the element itself, then you group the element with a second element that you set to invisible (any shape, for example) and apply your second animation to the group.
Alternatively you can also use a copy of the original element stacked on top of it, of course.
