Adding animation

The default workspace in InDesign CS5 hides the animation panels, but choosing a different workspace quickly brings them to the forefront for your convenience. Animations you create in InDesign are preserved when you export to Flash Player or Flash Professional. In addition, InDesign CS5 comes with the same motion presets as Flash Professional CS5, and if you create motion presets in Flash Professional CS5, InDesign CS5 can use them. This means that animations you create in InDesign don’t exist in isolation—you’re building a foundation that you can optionally enhance using Flash Professional CS5.
