playback.
3 Start recording.
4 Make your sketch, but be careful not to change colors or drawing
tools.
5 End recording and name your script Sketch.
6 Choose Select > All, and hit the Delete or Backspace key to clear
your canvas. Test your script by playing it.
7 Now play back the script with different tools and colors. Try
combining several playbacks over the same file.
Scripting for animation
Scripts can also be created for the purpose of making movies. You can
create a movie from a script by saving the script as frames during
playback. Before you record the script, you need to enable the Record
Initial State option. Once the script is recorded, you can play it back to
test it before you save it as a movie. When you want to create a movie
from the script, go to the Script Options dialog box and enable the Save
Frames On Playback option (this is the option that directs Corel Painter
to create a movie on playback).
