| 38 | +## Designing Animation |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +You can create an animation from scratch by using [Rive Editor](https://editor.rive.app/). |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +1. Click **+ New File**. |
| 43 | +2. Specify the **Artboard dimensions** (Width and Height). |
| 44 | +3. Click **Create**. |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +Use the Rive [design tools](https://help.rive.app/editor/fundamentals/shapes-and-paths) or import image files to start designing your animation. Once your design is ready you can use the [Timeline](https://help.rive.app/editor/animate-mode/timeline) and use keying to easily animate your design. |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +:::info |
| 49 | +You should have at least one [**Artboard**](https://help.rive.app/editor/fundamentals/artboards) inside your Rive file but you can add an infinite amount of Artboards. |
| 50 | +::: |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +After you have completed designing your animation, you can either download it as an asset (having `.riv` extension) or you can share it with others by publishing it to the Rive community. |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +To download the Rive file, click the **Export icon** (top-left corner of the Rive toolbar), and select **Download -> For newest runtime**. |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +To publish the file to the community, click the **Export icon** (top-left corner of the Rive toolbar), and select **Publish to Community**. Give a **title** and **description** to your animation and click **Publish to Community**. |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +:::warning |
| 60 | +For using a Rive animation file inside FlutterFlow, you should either download or publish the file to the community. |
| 61 | +::: |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +Instead of creating an animation from scratch, you can also use any Rive asset shared in the [Community](https://rive.app/community/). |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +## Adding RiveAnimation widget |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +Follow the steps below to use a Rive animation: |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +1. Drag and drop the **RiveAnimation** widget onto the canvas. |
| 70 | +2. Select the **Animation Source** as either ***Network*** or ***Asset***. |
| 71 | +3. If you have selected ***Network***, enter the **Path** (download URL) ****of the animation. Get the path by navigating to the Rive animation published in the community, right-click on the **Download** button and copy the link address. |
| 72 | +4. If you have selected ***Asset***, |
| 73 | +5. Choose an **Artboard** from the dropdown list. |
| 74 | +6. Select the **Animations** that you want to use (these are imported from the Rive asset). After selecting one or more animation(s), you can use the **Preview Animations** button to play it. |
| 75 | +7. The **Animation Type** is selected as ***Once*** by default. If the selected animations contain a loop or boomerang, you will have an option to select ***Continuous***. On choosing this option, if the animation contains a loop it will play continuously. |
| 76 | +8. By default, the **Auto Animate** checkbox remains checked, which means that the animation will play as soon as the page loads. But if you want to use an Action to trigger the animation, uncheck this. |
| 77 | +9. Specify the **Width** and **Height** of the RiveAnimation widget, and select a **Box Fit** type. |
| 78 | +10. (Optional) If you plan to use an Action to trigger the animation, you can give an appropriate **Name** to this *RiveAnimation* widget for it to be easily identifiable. |

| 105 | + |
| 106 | +## Control animation using action |
| 107 | + |
| 108 | +To trigger a RiveAnimation to start playing using an Action, you can use the **Rive** **Animation Action**. |
| 109 | + |
| 110 | +### Adding Rive Animation [Action] |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +Follow the steps below to define an action to start the animation: |
| 113 | + |
| 114 | +1. Select the **widget** (eg., `Button`) on which you want to define the action. |
| 115 | +2. Select **Actions** from the Properties panel. |
| 116 | +3. Click **+ Add Action** button. |
| 117 | +4. Choose a gesture from the dropdown among **On Tap, On Double Tap,** or **On Long Press**. |
| 118 | +5. Select the **Action Type** as ***Animation**.* |
| 119 | +6. Set **Choose Animation Type** to ***Rive Animation***. |
| 120 | +7. Under **Choose Rive Animation**, select the `RiveAnimation` widget (If you have given your `RiveAnimation` widget a name, that will be displayed here). |
| 121 | + |
| 122 | +:::info |
| 123 | +You should have the **Auto Animate** unchecked inside the properties of `RiveAnimation` widget to take advantage of this action. |
