Naming animation frames

As you set up an animation, Fireworks creates the appropriate number of frames and displays
them in the Frames panel. By default the frames are named Frame 1, Frame 2, and so on.
When you move a frame in the panel, Fireworks renames each one to reflect the new order.
It's a good idea to name your frames for easy reference and to keep track of them. That way
you always know which frame contains which part of the animation. Moving a renamed
frame has no effect on the name; it remains the same.
To change a frame's name:
1.
In the Frames panel, double-click the frame's name.
2.
In the pop-up text box, type a new name and press Enter.

Adding, moving, copying, and deleting frames

You can add, copy, delete, and change the order of frames in the Frames panel.
To add a new frame:
Click the New/Duplicate Frame button at the bottom of the Frames panel.
