To take the sparkle process a bit further (upon inspiration from my partner whose words command bright glittery images), the following process will show you how to add glitter (rather than just a sparkle to images) to the muppet Abbycadabby, Figure 1.
We will first recover some parts of the muppet (4 wings and 2 arms)with paths and then add glitter by adding a "noise" effect.
Fireworks is the perfect tool to create animated GIFs by using a combination of >Layers and Frames. A Fireworks document has an indefinite number of layers and an indefinite number of objects per layer.

Layers and Frames. Each frame represents an image of the animation and with the layers panel you decide what you want to show in each frame.

The Share accross frames feature which should be read Share layers accross frames enables you to make a layer (and its objects) visible in all the frames of the animation.
If you want to share a layer accross the frames, select the layer to be shared then double-click the layer name in the Layers panel, and select Share Across Frames.
