MemberI created an image with multiple frames. When I export the image, it only exports the frame I see. How do I make it export all my frames at once so its an animation.
Also if you can show me how to make a button that would play all my frames. I tried doing that but I cant!

ParticipantYou need to export it as an animated gif, to do this use File > Export Preview and select Animated GIF from the Format menu.

Would you happen to know how to create a play button by using a button?August 9, 2004 at 7:14 pm #40302shifter
ParticipantI don’t understand what you mean. Please be more descriptive.

MemberActually, if you want it as an image, GIF is the only way – and images don’t have play buttons.
If you want it as a flash animation on your website, you need to export it to SWF and embed the SWF in your website’s HTML.

ParticipantWell, if you’re wanting to create a play button to “trigger” your animation, then this cannot be done within a GIF animation, you would need to use Flash as DJ suggested, but then you would need to create the image using the Macromedia Flash Application.
But, as an alternative, you could create a seperate image to serve as a play button which when clicked would trigger a swap event on a seperate static image (likely the first frame of your animation) and then replace it with the animated gif which would be set to play the frames automatically. You would need some experience with HTML and JavaScript to accomplish this though.

MemberI know about exporting it as a SWF.
What I mean is I wish to have a play button to start my animation type of thing. I created a little image just for fun right now. What I want is where it says Get Ready is I wish to have a play button. This image was just created so I can get used to the program. Here is is:

I already have my image. It is converted into a button. I dont know how to make it clickable so it can start off my animation!
