Note: if the graphic has a shadow, a fourth, striped light that
creates the shadow is also shown.
Display as Flash
—Flash vector format does not support all MAGIX 3D Maker
features (such as shadows and some bevel types). Selecting
Display as Flash shows only options compatible with Flash
vector format.
Show/Hide Frame
—this displays the graphic in a small window (the Frame) within
the main MAGIX 3D Maker window. The advantage of the
Frame is that MAGIX 3D Maker remembers its size when you
save the file. Opening the file in the future displays the Frame at
that same size. It is also useful for small graphics because you do
not have to make the main window tiny.
The options toolbar
This gives short cuts for the main editing dialog boxes in MAGIX 3D Maker. The Option Bars
section describes these dialog boxes in detail.
To display or hide this toolbar, use Options toolbar on the Window
menu.
The text toolbar
These options duplicate options in the Text options dialog box. See the description of the Text options
dialog box
for details.
To display or hide this toolbar, use Text toolbar on the Window
menu.
The time line
These options let you step through or play animations. You can also pause the animation at any
intermediate frame and then export that frame as a static image.
To display or hide the time line, use Time line on the Window
menu.
Options
Play—preview the animation in the MAGIX 3D Maker
window. This is the same as clicking Start/Stop animation on
the Standard
Toolbar.
Pause
—pause the animation at the current frame. Click again to
restart the animation at the next frame.
Stop
—halts the animation. This is the same as clicking Start/Stop
animation on the Standard Toolbar.
Rewind
—display the first frame (frame 1) in the animation.
