Dynamic animated image effect and static image

Dynamic animated image effects display on Flash movie according to the timing parameters, while static text effects display on background during the entire Flash movie.

Timing parameters of dynamic image effect

Basically, a dynamic image effect contains three phases: Animation of entering Flash movie, displaying on Flash movie, Animation of leaving the Flash movie.

Incoming time of the image (Seconds)

This parameter defines the incoming time of image. It will be ignored when the option "Ignore incoming time setting, show stages one after another" is selected.

Remove all kept texts and images or previous stages

This option will remove all previous dynamic texts and images kept by the option "Keep the image/text on Flash movie after the current stage end". It's only valid when the option "Ignore incoming time setting, show stages one after another" is selected.

Delay (Seconds) before the image enters Flash movie

By default, a dynamic effect will display immediately after the previous effect disappears. This value will delay current effect for specified seconds.It's only valid when the option "Ignore incoming time setting, show stages one after another" is selected.

Time of image displays on Flash movie (Seconds)

A dynamic image effect contains three phases: Animation of entering Flash movie, displaying on Flash movie, Animation of leaving the Flash movie. This value sets the duration time of the second phase.

Keep the image on Flash movie after the current stage end

By default, the image will leave the Flash banner after the specified "time of image displays on Flash movie". With this option on, the current dynamic effect will not leave and will stay in the Flash movie to the end of the banner.

If the option "Ignore incoming time setting, show stages one after another" is selected, the option "Remove all kept texts and images of previous stages" can remove all kept dynamic texts and images effects.
