ACTIVTIP ADJECTIVES

[zeca]

I've just seen this activtip - it's in the primary section and it's called adjectives.
The teacher drags a notepad which seems transparent, wnen the one I'm used to open is not..
Then, she drags some words (from the outside) into the pad and when moving the pad along the board, she manages to bring everything together. When i try to do the same thing, the words I try to insert into the pad go hidden under it.
In short, how can I achieve the same effect as in the activtip?

Margaret is using a Container in the demo - when the words are placed in the image of the notepad, they stay there.
Set the Container to hold 'anything' so you can put any of the words within the image and they will 'stick' there while you move it around.

I don't think the image is transparent, but it is a bit hard to tell.

I´ve worked with containers. I guess it would not be an issue. What calls my attention is the fact that, when she drags the notepad or whatever you name it... we can see clearly the season picture underneath. I just don´t know
how to do it.

Use the Translucency Slider on the image if you want to see through it to objects behind the image.

Thanks. I´ve managed to do that. The only thing I still don´t know is whether the notepad she uses is a rectangular object she dragged from the shared shapes area and used it as a container or if she uses a special set for the notepad which allows it to go transparent. I ask that because when I call a notepad I don´t see how to make it translucid, if you know what I mean.
Thanks again

I have a collection of 'Stickies' - can't recall where I got them from originally...
Here is one of them, which also has Action Buttons on it for the Select tool and Pen tool.

There is also a flipchart of Doodahs out there, from Pete Lambert. Same idea.

Sorry, I didn't catch that. I opened your "sticky", a flipchart page opens with nothing inside..
My doubt is still the same.. Where did she get that notepad from?
Thanks

I opened your "sticky", a flipchart page opens with nothing inside..

It is actually an image - Save it into your Images or Collections and drag it onto the flipchart page.
