Animation Effects

Overview

TPD4 utilizes three main concepts for supporting animation effects in your projects:

Animation Wizard

Tweening

Chameleon Images

Animation Wizard

The Animation Wizard is a powerful tool included with TPD4. It guides you through the steps of generating an

animation sequence that can be applied to a multi-state button to apply impressive visual effects to your

buttons. Multi-state buttons can have up to 256 states, all of which are available to be used as "frames" in an

animation.

You can create an animation sequence for a multi-state button manually, by creating a series of states and

applying a different bitmap or icon to each state and treating each state as an individual frame. This however,

would be a very tedious and time-intensive process. The Animation Wizard automates most of the process and

makes the task easy.

To create a simple button animation using the Animation Wizard:

1. Select Button > Animation Wizard to start the wizard. This opens the first of six dialogs (Animation

Wizard - Select Type (Step 1 of 6). Use the radio buttons in this dialog to specify the type of animation to

create (Bitmap, Icon or Chameleon Image).

Select Bitmap to use bitmaps in the animation.

Select Icon to use icons in the animation.

Select Chameleon Image to use (32-bit PNG) chameleon images in the animation.

If you select a General (two-state) button to use with the animation wizard, the wizard

will allow you to add the necessary number of states to the button to accommodate

the animation sequence (and automatically change the button type to Multi-State

General).
