Creating Animations 219

Storyboard control

Storyboard control is possible by using a selection of buttons grouped together

on the Storyboard tab (equivalent options are on the Storyboard menu). They

operate across the entire storyboard, as opposed to on an individual keyframe or

key object.

Break

storyboard

Breaks the animation run that transects through a

selected keyframe into two separate runs.

Compact

storyboard

A tool for tidying up your storyboard; any keyframes

containing only tweened objects are removed from the

storyboard.

Scale

storyboard

Expands or shrinks the whole storyboard. All keyframe

durations are automatically adjusted to fit

proportionately to the new Scale duration.

Adding sound and movies

Adding sound

To complement the visual effect of your keyframe animation it's possible to add

audio. Sounds can be added either for the duration of a specific keyframe, or

when an action is applied to an object event (see Applying actions on p. 228 for

details on actions and events).

To add an audio clip:

1. On the Storyboard tab, click on the keyframe's

Sound icon

(located below the frame's thumbnail).

2. From the dialog, navigate to your audio file, select it and click the

Open button.

To remove a selected keyframe's audio clip, right-click and select Clear

Background Sound.
