Horizontal page centering is on with design width of 800 px. To see the problems, set a screen resolution of 1024px or more, then vary the browser window size by dragging the right-hand edge in and out.
1. This animation shows obvious misplacements of the balls in preview. Depending on browser window width, the balls do not start in the rectangular box, and nor do they orbit on the path shown on the workpage -- an Ellipse object set to zero thickness.

2. Make the animation objects into a permanent group and there is no animation at all.
3. Removing the group and replacing the original ellipse object with a path object of type ellipse, fixes the orbital problem. The buttons on the path tool currently do not work, so Harpo suggests selecting the type"Ellipse" from the right-click context menu.
4. Even with this change, the starting balls still are still misplaced with respect to the box.

5. View the animations in IE8 and Firefox. In IE8, the ball's spacing in orbit is similar for each ball. In FF, it can be very different. Maybe a problem with Firefox itself?
