Very usuful tutorial. Great!
Very clearly written. It’s good not to have that “But mine doesn’t do that!!!” feeling.
Awesome tutorial but does cs3 have the “motion editor” panel? And can you do a tutorial on a auto scrolling textbox that has interactivity like links to put into dreamweaver? Because this tutorial was great! Thanks
Mike, the Motion Editor was introduced in CS4. In CS3 you can get a similar effect using the Free Transform tool and motion tweens.
