Fireworks can create an animation based on a group of image files. For example, you can create a banner ad based on several existing graphics by opening each graphic and placing it in a separate frame in the same document.

To open multiple files as an animation:

  1. Select File > Open.
  2. Shift-click to select multiple files.
  3. Select Open as Animation and click OK.

    Fireworks opens the files in a new single document, placing each file in a separate frame in the order in which you selected it.
