Applying textures to layers
Textures are image files that you use in your LiveMotion compositions. The Textures palette lets you apply a repeating, or tiled, texture or pattern to any object layer or to the background. The image files can be in any file format that LiveMotion can import. You can also directly apply a bitmap image as a texture to an object or the background.
You can use the same texture in the background of your LiveMotion composition as you do in your Web page because LiveMotion automatically sets the transparency and edges of the exported objects to blend with the background texture, so it can also make objects you export in GIF format look better against the background of your Web page. Because different Web browsers offset individual imported images differently against the background, this works best if you export a composition as an entire page rather than as separate images.
