animate an arrow to leave a tail

[Civl War Guy]

I want to start with a small arrow head and move it over a map in such a
way that the arrow leaves a tail from where it started. I also want the
arrow head to be able to change direction and curve so that the tail behind
it curves as the head moves away. Using the latest version of PP on Win XP.
How do I do it?

Hi soldier,

animate the arrow head with an animation path, animate the "tail" with a
"Wipe" animation. The difficult part is the timing to keep them in sync.
And use short lines for the "tail", begin a new one if the line makes a turn
of 90 degrees and change the direction of the animation for the new piece.
I could offer you a German sample presentation, if that's of any help to
you.

Best regards,
Úte

Have a look at how the map example was done in our animation showcase using
background fills and wipes
