All the available effect templates are stored in the Anim-FX directory. Every effect consists of 2 files, an .SWF file and a .TXT file (e.g. "explosion.swf" and "explosion.txt"). They are both needed for the effect to work properly, because the text file contains all the data for the SWF file.

To save your Anim-FX effect, click the Save button. There will be no option for where you want to save the files. It will automatically save both the text and swf files in the directory that you instaleld the software. After that, you should copy the files to the directory which holds the HTML page where you want the effect to appear. It is recommended that you copy the files to another directory immediately, especially when you want to use the same effect template again, because in the Anim-FX directory only one effect with the same name can exist.

Now you need to copy these 2 files to your web directory. Open Windows explorer, select both files, click the right mouse button and select copy. Then go to the directory which holds the HTML file of your webpage. Inside this directory, right click again and select paste from the pop-up menu.

Next, open your HTML editor such as Dreamweaver or FP or any other similar program and position the Flash file into the correct position with the desired dimensions.
