Freebie - Animated Marker Highlight
Jan 08, 2013
Hey everyone,
I'm brushing off some dust from my flash animating skills and quickly came up with this animation. Its a marker that will appear on screen (fade in) and then draw a circle and then disappear (fade out). I plan on using it to highlight items on the screen like buttons instead of using the boring old blinking boxes. Let the animation run as long as you need the circle to appear on screen. Right click to save.
*edit: updated the font to look more closely like the sharpie font. Thanks to Jeanette for the idea.
Let me know if and how you use it.

Nice one, Jerson - thanks for sharing this! What does the word on the side of the pen mean?
Opposite of Sharpie, I'd imagine
Thats correct, a little tongue-in-cheek humor
Ah ok, cool! I guess I was thrown because the font didn't make me think Sharpie.
That's very cool! Thanks for sharing!
@ Jeanette
I didn't think about trying to match the font with the Sharpie logo. I just updated it so now it's a bit closer to it. Thanks for the idea.
Nice thank you
Thanks, very cool.
Hi - I just found this and it is exactly what I have been looking to use in one of my eLearning modules. However, I can't seem to figure out how to download this to be able to use it. Clicking the attachment just plays the animation. Do I need flash or something like that?
Hi Melanie
if you right click the .swf above and download the link to your desktop. Then in SL, Insert > Flash to add it to your .story file.
Thanks!
