The basic idea is to select something from the background of your card, or a disk clip-art file, and then just drag it around the screen! However you move the mouse, that's how your animation will play back! You can also have different buttons that call use the Animator at the same time, so you can have several different animations happening at the same time! The ESCAPE key will stop all running animations.
Directions:
1. Select a graphic from the screen or disk library.
2. Position graphic where you want to begin.
3. Click mouse button down and hold.
4. Move mouse around the screen to define the animation path.
5. Release mouse button to end animation.
(advanced user: press the space bar or Return)
6. Click on "Play" to view your animation.
7. Use other dialog options to edit, or make other changes.
8. Click OK when you are finished.
That's it. Have fun!
