14. Bring up the SpriteEffects palette
and give the lens a magnification factor of 125% (circled

15. Make sure the rulers are showing and
"Snap To Guides" is active. If not, click
Layout > Display > Show Rulers and Layout
> Snap To > Guides. Then create a horizontal
guide by dragging it from the ruler downwards into the
work area. Make sure the lens object is selected, then
click Edit > Copy.

and make a note of its left coordinate. In this example,
it is at 160 points (circled below).

the icon in the lower left corner to add a new frame
(circled below). The new frame will be called "Frame
2" and it will be the active frame in the document.

a value which is 10 points more than the previous frame.
In this case, we will enter 170. Click "Apply"
when done.

20. Shown below is a view of the lens
object after repositioning it with the Object Specs
palette. You don't have to worry about the top coordinate
because we are using a guide to control the horizontal
path of the traveling lens.
