» Title: Creative DW Image Show PRO
» Description: Creative DW Image Show PRO is a Dreamweaver extension which enables the user to create multimedia presentations. It combines the features of the popular Creative DW Image Show with the ability to add professional text effects to slides (similar to After Effects). The product is very customizable: the user can choose the duration of the transition effects, the slide motion start and end position, zoom and panning type for both images and texts.
Now we will make the text visible. Create a new layer and rename it to text.
Open the text-options panel (Window - Panels - Text options). Select
Dynamic Text, select Multiline, select "Word wrap" and "Selectable"
and draw a textfield at about the position x=20 y = 20. Give it the Variable
name windowtext in the text option panel.
Create a new layer and rename it to back. Change the stacking
order of the layers so that back is under text (you can change the stacking
order of the layers by dragging them and letting them go between, under or above
other layers) Create a empty keyframe and create the bottom-part-background
of a window ('a window without it's titel bar'). You can change it by turning
it into a graphic symbol by selecting it and clicking F8 or Insert - Convert
to Symbol and selecting Graphic. This will make adjusting later a bit easier.
Set the left - top position to x = 0 and y = 0. If nessaray, correct the possition
of the textfield so that it's on top of the background but leaves space for
the scrollbuttons (see picture below).
Create a new layer under text and rename it to extra's. Create
here the white square behind the textfield and the grey square behind the scroll-buttons
(you might have to change the widht/height to your liking afterward). Turn the
grey square into a Graphic Symbol if wanted, this might make changes afterward
a bit easier. It should look something like this:
