You may notice that almost all the work so far has been accomplished in the Timeline for the Library symbols rather than in the Timeline for the main stage. Working with symbolseven creating full animationsmakes the final layout far easier and much more adjustable. If I built the word animations on the main stage, so to speak, and the client wants me to move each word further apart, it would be a hasslefor both of us. The process now is to simply add the necessary frames for the total animation and to add and position the animated Library symbols.
Test your animation by moving the playhead back and forth across the Timeline or by choosing Control > Test Movie. You should see the words being animated letter by letter. |
