dom.convertToAnimSymbol()

Availability

Fireworks 4.

Usage

dom.convetToAnimSymbol(name, numFrames, offsetDistPt, rotationAmount,

scaleAmount, startOpacity, endOpacity)

Arguments

name A string that specifies a name for the new animation symbol.

numFrames An integer that specifies the number of frames through which the

symbol animates.

offsetDistPt A point that specifies the distance the animation will move in pixels (see

“Point data type” on page 12). For example, passing ({

x:100, y:25}) animates the symbol to

the right 100 pixels and 25 pixels down.

rotationAmount A floating-point value that specifies the degrees of rotation to be applied

to the animation symbol. For example, passing a value of

720 specifies an animation that does

two complete clockwise rotations. To rotate the animation counter-clockwise, pass a negative

number.

scaleAmount A positive floating-point value that specifies the amount of scaling to be

applied to the animation symbol. For example, passing a value of

50 scales the symbol to 50%

of its current size, and passing

200 scales it to twice its current size. To specify no scaling, pass

100.

startOpacity and endOpacity Float values between 0 and 100 that specify the starting

and ending opacity for the animation symbol.

Returns

Nothing.

Description

Converts the selected item(s) to a new animation symbol.
