How to create a Flash animation?

1) First decide on the dimensions that you want to use.
2) If your pictures are not all the same dimensions, open up your paint program and make sure they are.
I have added a "pictures" directory where you will find a couple of pictures.
3) Set the "Movie Dimensions" in the application (for the above pictures I used width 100 and height 100)
4) Choose the border and background color.
5) Click on the "Slides" tab. and click on Add Item to add a new slide to your own slide show. If you want to update an already listed picture click on the small box with the 3 little dots. The windows file selector will popup so you can select the desired picture.
6) Click on the "Type" tab and select the required type. In this sample select Standard Flash slide show with keypoints
7) No click on the "Key points" tab. This is where it's all about. I will provide you with some basic info to get this going (note there is a help "?" option with all the details you need.

a) First make sure that the desired picture is visible.
b) Click on the "+" symbol , and calico anywhere on the picture below. Repeat this 3 or 4 times and you will see that you have created a camera path.
c) Select the desired settings such as alpha (normally used for the first and last picture).

8) Click on "sound" tab if you would like to assign you own background music to the slide show. We have added a music directory so you can easily pick your own music files.
9) To preview the created Slideshow Click on "Generate and display" or Preview/Preview in browser
10) To Save the slide show click on Save/Save SWF

Frequently Asked Questions - Amara Photo Animation Software

Q: My HTML editor does not provide me with a good option to insert Flash files, how should I go about this?
A: When you insert the Flash Navigation Menu into your HTML page, please use the HTML code as provided by the software. Alternatively, you may use the code generated by your own HTML editor.
Q: How do I add text on top of each slide?
A: If you wish, you can enter some basic text to be displayed on each picture/slide. To do so, click on the "Text" tab, select the required slide and enter your text.
Q: I have inserted the Flash file into my website, but why can't I see it?
This problem sometimes occurs when you are using the HTML code as provided by our application. Our HTML code includes a link to the SWF file, using a path that assumes the SWF file is in the same directory as your HTML file.

<param name=movie value="your-swf-file.swf">

However, if you put your SWF file in another directory, for instance one called 'animations', you should update the path within the link to reflect this.

Another reason for not being able to see the SWF file might be that you have copied the application's HTML code to the clipboard before you actually saved the SWF file. In this case, you will see the following line of HTML code in your HTML page:

<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="#SAVE AS SWF FILE FIRST#">

If this is the case, you can easily resolve this by replacing #SAVE AS SWF FILE FIRST# with the correct file name (and make sure you use the correct path as well).

<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="#your-SWF-file.swf#">
Q: Can I use spaces between the characters of the file name?
Preferably not, as not all web servers support spaces in file names. Instead use a dash such as "my-flash-animation.swf"
Q: How can I create a 360 Pan of several pictures attached to each other?
Import all the pictures in your paint program and combine them to one large picture. Then insert this picture into the Photo animation software and select the Pan 360 option.
Q: How can I improve the quality of the pictures and reduce the filesize of the SWF file?
Please scale your pictures to the appropriate size in a paint program, and although the scaling can be done in the Slide Show Builder you may see a decrease in the quality of the pictures. Further scaling the pictures into the program will also unnecessarily increase the SWF filesize and requires more processing than actual needed.
