Now let's add the background picture the animation.
Highlight frame one again and open the coats-big-spooky.jpg
It will be placed in the frame however we see that it has now covered over the animations
No worries here.
Go to the Object manager window and you will see the image at the top. Drag the image section to the bottom of the stack.
Now everything above the object stack will be visible.
With the image highlighted in the object window you can now adjust the background picture to suite your needs. Simply hold the left mouse and drag the image as needed.
Now select frame 2. Notice that there is no background image? Go back the object manager and select the background click the "show/hide object" button.
Do this for all the frames and adjust as neccessary.
You did it!
Save your work!
Now we are going to add a blank frame so you get the idea of how easy it is to do this.
Right click on the frame panel and select "add frame".
Now head over to the objects menu and "show" the ones you want to use and adjust as neccessary.
That's it!
Save your work!
You have just created an animation sig with a background.
Now you may have noticed that when you preview the sig it is very fast. To set the speed of a frame you simply right click on each frame and select "frame properties".
In the delay attributes colun input your desired interval. zero no delay and 60+ waits longer to see the next frame (you get the idea?)
