Exporting animations
Exporting your stopframe or keyframe animation outputs your animation to a
file which can be shared or viewed, either standalone or when included as part of
a web page. DrawPlus lets you export to a variety of formats as indicated below:
Export Stopframe Keyframe
Flash SWF
Flash Lite/i-Mode

Screensaver
Flash SWF
The Flash SWF (ShockWave Flash) format has fast become the format of choice
for interactive vector-based graphic animation for the web. Great for creating a
simple or sophisticated animated toolbar for web page navigation, it is
universally supported on web browsers. The files can be easily manipulated
further (scaled, etc.) within Adobe® Flash®.
To export your animation as a Flash file:
1. Choose Export>Export as Flash SWF... from the File menu.
2. From the dialog, provide a ShockWave Flash file name and folder
location, and click the Save button. You'll see an export progress
dialog appear until the Flash file is created.
