Creating Animation Objects

Above is Smalltalk/DLR running in a browser with Silverlight 1.1.

• Download Silverlight 1.1 runtime
• Open “Virtual Desktop” test in your browser

The Designer is now able to create animation objects.

In the Designer “Animation” tab:

• select the element to be animated
• drag it to the start position and press “Begin”
• drag it to the end position and press “End”
• press “Run” to test
• selected elements will jump to their start and end positions by pressing ctrl-Begin and ctrl-End

Animated objects can be stored on the server by selecting “Save” on the “Server” tab.

When I add the StoryBoard editor, these objects will be keyed to time frames to build a cohesive animation narrative.
