I'll give it a try! I appreciate your help!!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14680263 Fri, 28 Oct 2005 16:43:20 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14676646 Action_Man : Here we go with your small tutorial .

Goto file/new and create your scene (200x100 in my case).

Type your text and resize accordingly, then goto modify/flatten selection, then draw yourself some type of writing implement and place it at the right hand side of your text.

Now add a few more frames to your animation with the + sign.
[att=2]
Now where it says "1 Frame1", drag that to the end of your animation, so it ends up as frame5, now highlight everything in frame 5 and use copy, then goto frame 4 and paste it there, now you can start editing your animation, delete part of the A as per the picture and move the pencil in place.
[att=3]
Now its just a matter of copying and pasting each time you have edited your image, add new frames as required.

This mini-tutorial assumes you have some basic knowledge of working with Fireworks, if there is anything you dont understand or feel i may have left out just let me know and i`ll add more as needed ...
