The information in this article applies to:

 == Microsoft Liquid Motion for Windows 1.0 == 

= SYMPTOMS =

When you add rotation to an image or text in a Liquid Motion animation and then preview it in Netscape Navigator, the image or text does not appear to be rotated.

= CAUSE =

Liquid Motion uses Microsoft Direct Animation to display the image or text as rotated. Netscape Navigator does not support Microsoft Direct Animation.

= RESOLUTION =

To work around this behavior use one of the following methods.

Method 1: If you have an Image
  Edit the image in an image-editing program, such as Microsoft Image Composer. Add rotation effects to the image and save the image. -or-   Use Macromedia FreeHand to save the image as a vector graphic with a .fh5 or .fh7 extension. Rotation applied to vector graphics will be displayed in all supported browsers. 

NOTE: Some Macromedia FreeHand features may not be supported in Liquid Motion.

Method 2: If You Have Text

NOTE: After you import the image into your animation, you will no longer be able to change the style of the text.
