The help system has a logical layout and navigational system that shows you where you are at all times, with electronic index and search. As well as the standard drawing tools, there are also separate palettes for 3D effects, gradients, transparency, sounds and other special effects to be added to objects. In addition, LiveMotion includes tools for easily creating common vector objects, such as rectangles, ellipses, polygons, and drawing paths. Creating animations is simple. Just about any property of an object can be animated in this way, including text values changing over time.
Objects can also contain different states, from which actions can be triggered.
A simple use of states is when an object is designated as a button. When the button is in the up state, a text box containing a description of the button may be hidden. When the button is in a hover state, that is, the mouse pointer is within the boundaries of the object on a Web page-the text box could be made visible. When the state is clicked, the browser may be told to load another URL, play a different animation or perform some other action. If operations that are more complex are required, LiveMotion supports the industry standard JavaScript language.
