Step 21.
This is the final part of the exploding text tutorial, where we'll be animating the expanding parts in layer sets 2 & 3. Next, make layer sets 2 & 3 visible again. For the 2nd frame, make the first copy (2nd from bottom) of layer 7 in set "2" visible. Make all the other layers in set 2 invisible.
 
Step 22.
Do the same thing for layer set "3", making the first copy (2nd from bottom) of layer 4 visible. Make all the other layers in set 3 invisible.
Step 23.
Then click on frame 3, but make the 3rd from bottom layer, in layer set 2 & 3 the only layers visible. Continue to do this for the remaining frames and layers.
Step 24.
When you get to frame 8, the top layers in set 2 & 3 will be the only layers visible in on the stage.
Step 25.
Change the delay on frame 8 to 2 seconds.
Step 26.
Now click on frame 1 and make the top layer in set "1" visible.
Step 27.
You'll notice that this layer will become visible in all the frames. We only want it visible in frame 1, so select frames 2 - 8, by clicking on frame 2, pressing the shift key and then clicking on frame 8. ONce you have frames 2 - 8 selected, make the top layer invisible.
