Animation Builder

Post by bidgeeman » Mon Feb 26, 2007 6:04 am

Hi,
I am a begginer with Runrev and was wondering how Animation Builder works? I can't seem to find any tutorials on it.

Regards
Bidge

Dear Bidge,

The Animation Builder is no longer supported, but you can still use it. I have put it into the plugins folder of Revolution, for testing. If you do that too, make sure that the stack opens as palette (in the plugin settings).

When the animation builder opens, select an object on your stack. Click "New" in the AB and give the animation a name (you can have several animations on one card).

There is a table in the middle of the window. Click in the second column of the table. Move your object 2 pixels. Click in the 3rd columns of the table and move your object a few pixels again. Do this many times.

Now click on the first column and on the small right-arrow button in the top-right of the palette. You'll watch your first animation playing now.

To use your animation without AB, check the commands revPlayAnimation and revStopAnimation in the docs.

Best regards,

Mark
