302 CHAPTER 11 Creating Animations (ImageReady) Keep in mind that an image can have multiple animations that are associated with different rollover states. For example, adding an animation to the Normal rollover state causes the animation to play when the Web page is first loaded by a Web browser. Adding an animation to another rollover state causes the animation to play only when the Web user performs the specified action (such as placing the mouse over the rollover or clicking on the rollover). Before creating an animation, check the Rollover palette to ensure that the desired state is selected. (See "Working with rollovers (ImageReady)" on page 292.) Using the Animation palette The Animation palette lets you create, view, and set options for the frames in an animation. You can change the thumbnail view of frames in the Animation palette-using smaller thumbnails reduces the space required by the palette and displays more frames in a given palette width. To display the Animation palette: Choose Window > Show Animation, or click the Animation palette tab. To change the thumbnail view of frames: 1 Select Palette Options from the Animation palette menu. 2 Select a thumbnail size, and click OK. Adding frames Adding frames is the first step in creating an animation. If you have an image open in ImageReady, the Animation palette displays the image as the first frame in a new animation. Each frame you add starts as a duplicate of the preceding frame. You then make changes to the frame using the Layers palette. Note: Always create and edit frames in Original view. While you can view frames in an optimized view, the editing options are very limited. To add a frame to an animation: 1 If you want to add the animation to a rollover state, select the desired state in the Rollover palette. (See "Using the Rollover palette" on page 293.) 2 In the Animation palette, do one of the following: • Click the New Frame button ( ). • Select New Frame from the Animation palette menu. Selecting frames Before you can work with a frame, you must select it as the current frame. The contents of the current frame appear in the document window. You can select multiple frames, either contiguous or discontiguous, to edit them or apply commands to them as a group. When multiple frames are selected, only the current frame appears in the document window.
