Recipe 12.4. Adding Transitions to Slide Presentations

Problem

You want to add transitions (fades, wipes, and so on) to your Slide presentation.

Solution

Use the built-in transitions and apply them to the slides.

Discussion

Flash Professional includes a set of standard transition effects you can use to determine how slides will animate when appearing and disappearing. You can add these transition effects to your slides using the Behaviors panel. To do so, just complete the following steps:

1. Select the slide in the Screen Outline pane for which you want to add the transition effect.

2. Open the Behaviors panel (Window Development Panels Behaviors or Shift-F3).

3. Transition.

4. If you want to add a second transition, repeat steps 3 and 4. For example, you may want to add a transition for the slide as it appears and another for when it disappears. A transition applied to the in direction corresponds to the appearance of the slide, and a transition applied to the out direction corresponds to the disappearance of the slide.
