Help!
I want to instruct words or pictures to go either into a container or bounce off a container.
I know that the box has to be made first and probably locked. I type my words next.Then I select each box - go to action and container and here I get a bit confused. Do I tick the snap to box and then select key word for that box? It is the 'does not contain' bit I'm not sure about. Also please tell me what the instructions are for the words or objects are that I want to manipulate as I know they have to have instructions too!
I have had some success but not all of my words or objects are going where they should. In some cases my boxes have been doing what my words should do.
Thanks

Thank you Lisa for your prompt reply. I wasn't able to open the file when I downloaded it but I was able to read the part about magic mirrors from the small display on promethean and now I am really chuffed that I can make them . I'm going to check out the similar threads on containers now and hope I can find what I am looking for.

There is an activtip on containers that might be helpful... That in the professional development section...It is done using Studio, but it shouldn't be that different. Hope it helps...
