7.6. Summary

This chapter explains the fidelity of Fireworks CS4 in creating animations. Animations can be exported as GIF files or advanced SWF files. The fine control of optimization settings allows designers to strike the right balance between graphic quality and file size. The flexibility of states present in the application makes it easier to tune individual states, resulting in crisp transitions.

The examples presented in this chapter give you just a sneak peek into the animation capabilities of Fireworks. It is now left to your imagination to create some engrossing ones without getting caught up in the complexity of application functionality.
