Create animation (Animation) (top)
GIF animation is an indispensable part of web authoring, the former web designers need a frame to draw a static image, and then placed them into a specialized GIF animation software reprocessing, the steps of the cumbersome to be daunting. But the appearance of fireworks completely changed all this, not only all the steps can be done in fireworks, and simple and convenient, FIREWORKS4 animation tool is more than the previous version has a new improvement.
Now we're going to create an animation and experience the powerful features of fireworks. First draw a rectangle on the artboard, as shown in figure:
Convert it to animation (Animation), use the menu Insert->convert to symbol or use the shortcut key F8, select Animation in the pop-up window, and the next window will ask you to set the motion of the animation, You can modify these parameters at any time in the later object version, so that a animation is created at the moment, regardless of the first OK. Animation is a symbol, the object of the symbol type has an arrow in the lower-left corner, and here's a description of the 3 different symbols (symbol) types:
- Graphic: Graphics, center is a cross that makes up the most basic element of animation.
- Animation: Animation, there is a point in the middle, a series of graphic is a Animation
- Button: Buttons, with the cutting hot zone is the button.
As can be seen from above, this part of the concept and Flash is very similar, but the name of the movie clip replaced by the animation, in fact, the essence is the same. Different types of symbols can be very convenient to each other, open the library version, click on the upper right corner of the face version of the arrow in the pop-up menu to choose Properties can convert the type of symbol.
And a little bit here, by the way, select menu Modify->symbol->break apart can restore an existing symbol to its original type, and it will appear as a group after it is restored. Ungroup will completely present its original form (vector graphics, bitmaps, text, or other types).
Having understood these concepts, we started to really create an animation. Select the animation that you have just converted, and then open the object surface to modify the animation motion in the object version.
- Frames: Set this animation with how many frames to complete, theoretically more than the number of frames animation smoother, but at the same time the size of the file is larger.
- Scaling: Zoom, the default value is 100, that is, do not zoom, if the number is less than 100, the representative is reduced, the number greater than 100 is magnified.
- Opacity: Transparency, which has 2 values, represents how much transparency varies from one to the other.
- Rotation: rotate, Unit is angle, CW is clockwise direction, CCW is reverse clock direction.
Here I have to say again, it and Flash is so much like!
Set frames to 15,scaling 150, that is, animation at the end of the animation symbol size of the original size of 1.5 times times, opacity 100 to 0, that is, a fade away effect, rotation 90CW, that is, clockwise rotation 90 degrees. When you are done, you can drag an animation line from the center of the symbol.
When I saw this animation line, I once again déjà vu, right, it is in the Director Animation line, is now borrowed to fireworks, is the need for integration? This question only asks Macromedia. The green dots represent the start frame of the animation, and the red dots represent the ending frame of the animation, and each blue point in the middle represents the shape of each over frame. You can change the motion trajectory of the animation by dragging the whole point. The following picture shows the shape of the symbol at each frame.
Ok,play a moment to appreciate the results.
