7.1. The States panel
The States panel, shown in Figure 7-1, is the control center for all things related to animation in Fireworks. Formerly called the Frames panel, Adobe decided to rename the panel for the CS4 release since Fireworks is now geared more toward rapid prototyping. You can use states on practically anything, but they are most commonly applied to animation frames, user interface view states, and multipage web site mockups. The CS4 release added the provision of right-clicking inside the panel, making panel menu accessibility and discoverability better for new users. The right-click menu options are the same as those shown in Figure 7-1 except for the Help option.
