Here's the finished animation. There are several cautions I'd be remiss not to pass along. Using the Optimize Palette by Frame option runs the risk the animation may not display correctly on Macintosh computers. The safest way to go is to use the Browser Palette option and Error Diffusion Dithering. However, this creates a file which is over twice the size and impractical for web site use.

The Optimized Palette by Frame creates a palette using the best colors for the image and thus you can often get by without using Error Diffusion Dithering, which produces a smooth image, but at greatly increased file sizes.

I used NetObjects Fusion 4.0 to create this site. The cool roll-over buttons were created in NOF as well. I've linked the NetObjects Fusion logo to the new Efuse site where I also have been creating tutorials. It's sort of a tradeoff because Daniel Will Harris, editor and Xealot, and I promote Xara heavily on the Efuse site. And so a modicum of promotion at this end is not at all unjustified.
