and &#8216;Name&#8217; we selected the new sound clip. \u00a0Then in the layer we could see the sound wave appear in blue and when we played the animation there was a comic &#8216;boing&#8217; noise.<\/p>\n<p>Next we tried out importing video clips. \u00a0The biggest problem was finding video clips we could download and use legally. \u00a0 We used <a title=\"Channel 4 PixnMix video candy jar\" href=\"http:\/\/www.channel4.com\/learning\/microsites\/I\/ideasfactory\/pixnmix\/candy_jar.html\" target=\"_blank\">Channel 4&#8217;s PixnMix<\/a> (<a title=\"Channel 4 PixnMix video candy jar\" href=\"bit.ly\/c4pix\" target=\"_blank\">bit.ly\/c4pix<\/a>) to find and download videos. \u00a0We then imported them into Flash (File \/ Import video).<\/p>\n<p>The biggest problem with importing video into Flash is you have to use the Adobe Media Encoder programme to convert the file from .avi to .flv (Flash video) before you can use it in your animation. \u00a0As you&#8217;re importing it you can select different &#8216;skins&#8217; to choose the\u00a0visible\u00a0buttons and what colour you want the buttons to be.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/digitalmediacomputing.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/ipad-video.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-533\" alt=\"video on an ipad being held by a cartoon guy\" src=\"https:\/\/digitalmediacomputing.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/ipad-video-300x223.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"223\" srcset=\"https:\/\/digitalmediacomputing.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/ipad-video-300x223.png 300w, https:\/\/digitalmediacomputing.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/ipad-video.png 484w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We then added another layer and drew a TV around the screen (or a cinema screen or an iPad&#8230;)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we started to attempt start and stop buttons. \u00a0We started by opening up a previous animation then we viewed the buttons folder of the common libraries. \u00a0We then dragged a couple of buttons onto our animation. \u00a0The idea was to write code to start and stop the animation, but it didn&#8217;t work (&#8230;because we [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":533,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-528","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/digitalmediacomputing.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/528","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/digitalmediacomputing.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/digitalmediacomputing.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/digitalmediacomputing.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/digitalmediacomputing.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=528"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/digitalmediacomputing.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/528\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":535,"href":"https:\/\/digitalmediacomputing.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/528\/revisions\/535"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/digitalmediacomputing.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/533"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/digitalmediacomputing.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=528"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/digitalmediacomputing.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=528"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/digitalmediacomputing.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=528"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
