The one with the giraffe on the what;s new on AS3 flipchart - I NEED to do this! Have done similar in past but with eraser tool.

i can copy it if need be 'cos still cna;t quite work out how the links work but what is driving me insane is how do I edit the text to cahnge it/ In AS2 it was jsut a matter of double clicking on it nad using text tool.

help please

It looks to me like a snapshot of the disks with text has been made so that is why you can edit the text.

The answers to the questions are stacked one on top of each other. What you need to do is create the question tabs and group the shape and text together. Double click and select 'Properties'. Choose 'Actions' and then 'Object'. In the drop-down menu you want to select 'To Front'. Now click 'Set' and find the correct answer on the page. Do this for all of your questions and Bob's your Uncle!

Not sure how to do the grouping - brain is addled and sounds complicated as i am tired - if i could have edited the text life would have been so much easier.

Thank you anyway

Try this. You will need to still add actions I decribed though. I have put a coloured shape in between the old text and the new text box that I added.

You need to be using version 3 to put actions on the objects.

To ungroup and change text select and click the puzzle piece that appears under it.

Thanks will have a play - where did you get the mini whteboard icons from btw? :confused: I could';t find them when I searched.

I have just sorted out the envelope flip chart - taken me 24 hours mind you!

This is so addictive but so frustraitng too.

[leviosa]

right I am slowly and painfully getting there - got the hang of grouping things sorted now.

If I attach what I have done can you please tell me in an idiot's step by step guide what I do to make the buttons with questions revela the answers.

I guess it must be similar to clicking on an object that turns it to another page on the flip chart but not got it sussed yet.

Thank you and sorry to be pest. :eek:

Hi Lev!
If you are using the giraffes flipchart as an idea for the RE one. The way that worked was to stack the pile of pictures of whiteboards behind a picture of a blank whiteboard. The question discs had an action to "bring to front" the specific answer to that question.
It was only one flipchart page. I'll attach it here.
Go into design mode and drag away the whiteboards. Double click on the question discs, go to Properties and see the Actions attached to them - this will give you the best idea to how it was made.

You're not a pest! Hopefully the attached screenshot will help.
Disable the actions (line through the arrow, possibly on your top bar).
Double click the disc. Choose properties (the tick).
Select actions from the properties box.
Choose 'Object' and then use the down arrow to find 'To Front'.
Click 'Set' and use the down arrow again to find the group you need.
"To learn..." is group 16
"Drama..." is group17
"Anywhere..." is group 18
"Not at all..." is group 19
"To listen ..." is group 20
Let me know if it doesn't make sense! :)

Oh I am good! Yippee sorted it and it works fab!

Only thing is though it doesn't appear to want to work in AS2.

Being a sad individual who enjoys playing I have AS3 installed on my school computer nd home computer - need to upgrade laptop - but some of my fellow teachers who use my resources from time to time are still on AS2 - does this mean I need to sweet talk my nice ICT Technician?

It should work in Activstudio 2.5 or above, so I guess your school version must be older than that :(
