Importing
Anim-FX animation files into Flash
Adding a custom Flash animation created with Anim-FX into Flash
is a snap. By folllowing these simple steps, you will be up and running in
no time at all and impressing all of your visitors with your
talents!
Please make sure that you have copied and pasted the Anim-FX
files (The SWF file and TXT file) into the same directory as
where you will save your Flash file which loads the Anim-FX
file into Flash.
1. Open FLash

"holder"

menu appears
Click on "Actions"

select the target mc
and enter into the corresponding input field the instance name
you just assigned "holder"

appears in the first frame of the timeline. This indicates that
