Animating Image States

Hi Helen! Tim Slade has done something along these lines with his "Spring Green" template which you can find here along with a screenr he did about how he set up his animations within his states. 

I hope that will work for you too!

Hi Helen, the easiest way to do this to add the new pose to the slide and then add the fade animation to it. Once you have done thiis copy It and then edit the state for Atsumi and paste the animated image to the state you want animated. 

Hi Helen! Looks like Mike and Nancy are taking care of you here, just let us know if you need anything further.

Thanks Mike & Nancy (& Tim by proxy - lovely looking course btw)

I have found that if I try to add the animation while in the state editing mode it doesn't seem to work, but if I use Nancy's technique of adding the animation to the character on slide and then cutting and pasting it into the new state it does work.

Not sure why it should be different, but if it works somehow I'm happy

Awesome! Thanks for the update Helen

Hello all,

I too am struggling with animated states. I can't seem to have an exit animation on a state. I want the object to fly off when another object is drag over it. I need this to be states not layers. I tried adding the exit animation in the state editor and pasting into the stae with animation on it.

Any help would save my sanity!

Thanks,

Tim

it is not possible to animate out a state, exit animations are either timeline or trigger based.  

The only way to trigger it is to use a change state to hidden, but if left on stage this will hide automatically at the end of it's timeline, unless of course it is made visible after it's timeline ends

Thanks! its odd that it lets you apply the exit animation. it even shows the animation star symbol. Maybe that one is coming?!

I think it is a bug, worth feature request though I would like to fade out on mouse exit,
