The document provides instructions for creating a simple animation of a stick figure in Adobe Fireworks. It describes how to: 1. Draw a stick figure using vector drawing tools like ellipses and lines on a transparent canvas. 2. Create multiple "states" or frames by duplicating and modifying the initial drawing to depict different arm positions over time. 3. Animate the drawing by playing the sequence of states at 10 frames per second over 40 total frames, causing the stick figure's arms to flap up and down. 4. Save the completed animation as an animated GIF file.
