Storybook App - Flipping Pages/Video?

freerangeeggheads

Hi, I'm new to Game Salad though I have a background in C. I've tried searching the forums and help files because I feel like this is probably a very basic question but I can't figure out how to search, I can't find a search bar anywhere.

Anyway, I am creating a child's storybook app for fun and practice and I have run into two hiccups:

1. How can I make a page flip type animation on swipe? To turn the page?
2. Can I import video as an actor? Can this video have sound? It would be easier to create complex animations using a program like flash, export as a video, and then import into GameSalad as opposed to creating the animations in GameSalad which won't even really be possible because of the lack of control of timing. Is this possible? How? What format does it need to be in?

Thanks so much!

I think there is a page flipping approach. Go up to the marketing forum. Look for the topic Story Book temp. But at this time.. video is not a feature in GS. There is a way to do animation in GS. but the way it is done. Your forced to make your animation VERY VERY SHORT.

We are hoping with the new found financial backing of 6.1 Mil... no no I wont use that phrase... With the new found motivation that the owners of GS has recently received. That video and many other needed features will in time be implemented into the GS engine.

You can change images in an actor, either manually or with the animate behavior. Sound can be added to this as well.

An example is Annoyed Tomatoes. I added a video intro to the game, with sound.
