vba and animations

Hi,

I am using VBA in PowerPoint 2003.
I'm new to VBA and I find that looking for informations about animation is
quite difficult. When I want to know what informations to give when I want to
insert a shape, it's quite easy because I can record a macro and then use
this information. Unfortunately, it's not possible for animation. Do you know
of any good tutorial about this ? For example, I would like to know how to
lenghten the path if I'm using msoAnimEffectPathRight or how to include a
sound with it.

On another subject, there is still no answer to my question here and I
haven't found an answer by myself :

Thank you for your help. It is very appreciated.

Exemple of code I am using, exploring userform and animations :

Private Sub CheckBox1_Click()
etoile = True
End Sub

Private Sub CheckBox2_Click()
carre = True
End Sub

Private Sub CheckBox3_Click()
cercle = True
End Sub

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Me.hide
