Lesson 11: Multimedia Building Blocks – Text, Animation

Text Animation

Presentation of text can be more fun and interesting through animation. A wide variety of methods are available to animate the text. Some of the methods are: scrolling (vertical and horizontal), zoom-in and zoom-out, fade-in and fade-out, dissolve etc. 3D text also has an impressive look. Care should be taken to introduce animation only at selected places where the presentation is most impressive. Authoring Programmes like Macromedia's Director have built in tools to animate text.

Animated text – using the HTML <blink> command causes text to flash on and off.
