After you set up the symbols and frames that make up your animation, you are ready to export the file as an animation. Before you export the files, you need to enter a few settings to make your animation load more easily and play more smoothly. You can set playback settings like looping and transparency and then use optimization to make your exported file smaller and easier to download.

NOTE

If you plan to import your animation into Adobe Flash for further editing, you do not need to export it. Flash can directly import Fireworks PNG source files. For more information, see Working with Adobe Flash.
