Creating an animation with both WebArt Designer and animation effects

Using a logo created with WebArt Designer, you can create an animation in which characters flow across the screen from right to left.

The following explains how to create a logo that reads "Welcome to My Web Page." This logo flows across the screen from right to left.

1. Using WebArt Designer, create a logo like that shown below:

2. Start Web Animator. From the menu, select "File"->"New."

3. Drag the logo created in 1. and drop it into the newly created animation.

4. Select the created image. Then, from the menu, select "Edit"-> "Duplicate."

5. Select the image created in 1. Then, from the menu, select "Edit"->"Add Animation Effect"

6. As the type of effect, select [Scroll (Right -> Left)] from the [Making Transition] dialog box. Then, click the [OK] button.

7. So that the characters will appear to flow across the page smoothly, delete the first and last two images.

8. Select an attribute frame. Then, from the menu, select "View"->"Properties Toolbar."

9. The [Animation attributes] dialog box appears. So that the logo will roll across the screen continuously, place a check mark in the [Infinite] check box.

10. All images created with animation effects use local palettes. Therefore, to reduce the file size select "Edit"->"Select All." Then, change the palette to the global palette with the [Change Properties at One Time] dialog box.

11. From the menu, select "File"->"Save As" and save the file.
