Well now that you have created your clip mask effect, you are ready to export and show the world the fruits of your labor!
To export your animation to SWF:
1. Select File > Export Movie. The Export dialog box opens.
2. From the Export Format menu, select Flash Movie.
3. Select Default from the Settings menu.
4. Type the name of the movie in the File Name field and click Browse if you want to select an alternate location for the final file.
5. Select Full Movie from the Export Type panel.
6. Select the Launch Player After Export option.
7. Click OK to begin the exporting process. A progress bar appears to show you the progress of the export. If you want to cancel the export, click Cancel.
After the animation is rendered, a Playback window will open and play back your animation.
There is an element with some text in it, which we imported from an Adobe® Illustrator® file. To experiment more with the Mask effect, you can replace the existing mask with this element. Remember you will have to change the start time and exposure of this drawing so that it matches the duration of the transition.
Enjoy!
