Note:
Several of these effects are available via shortcut buttons on the toolbar, with drop down palettes providing the most common examples.

If you want to add more than one effect to an object, then repeat steps 1 to 3 for each effect.

Note:
You can get some interesting effects when you apply the effects to different Object States. For example, when an object is shown in a Normal state, you may have no effect, however, when the object is in a Mouse Over state, the object may flare or stretch, thus giving it the appearance of being animated.
