Now we can set up each option. It should be noted that the items in imageCaptions, imageLinks and imageURLs need to be separated by commas, and your image address and the link address after clicking are filled in the corresponding boxes. You can set the color and other processing according to your own needs. To set, at the same time, for the last transition effect between pictures, you can choose according to your own preferences, similar to making the transition effect between slides in Power Point (Figure 4).

After a few simple steps, a web animation component with a personalized playback interface and interactive effects is completed. It is quite simple. If you have a certain understanding of Flash, you can also develop a Flash Element plug-in yourself. You can also download more Flash Element plug-ins from the Macromedia website to make your homepage more varied and personalized!
