Text Objects have the following properties:
Opacity, Font Face, Font Size, Font Color, Bold, Italic, Underline, and of course, the text you want to use.

You can also add a Link for the selected Text Object by clicking the Make a Link button in the Object Properties window.

Images can be manipulated in a number of ways. You can use the Colors, and Manipulation functions to change the way your images look. You can also choose the Tranparency of your images. Transparency can now be used to make the background of your Firestarter movie transparent. To make a link for your Image, just click the 'Make a Link' button.

Sounds can add some cool effects to your movie. Be aware that using sounds will increase the size of your movie. Use small sounds and repeat them for cool effects and small file size.

Links can make your movies interactive. Once you add a link object you can move it, and resize to go exactly where you want.

You can do a lot with shapes. Play with the different settings to find some really cool effects.
