Animation Problem and Solution
Jul 31, 2014
So the SME says "That could be understood more clearly if you used a conveyor belt animation".
But alas SL don't do animation. To a certain extent SL could be used to do it, but I think it would be clunky and things would'nt drop away or fly off like they are meant to and the timeline would get congested.
OK me thinks, what else have we got ? PPT animation then record screen and import the movie? Fireworks animated gifs? Edge and a webform? Blender 3D modelling? Oh, and Flash. After trying a few solutions and balancing effort with time guess what.
Good old Flash it turns out can do a very good job of creating animated gifs. Just think about not putting movies within movies as they won't work. See the result. I'm happy with that.
But wouldn't it be great if SL could do it too
PS. To see the animation right click on the file and select 'Open with Explorer'.

Bruce, why export it as a GIF? Why not import the SWF file into SL? This way you can do a movie within a movie.
Hi Jerson,
Flash swf was not an option for compatibility with ipad and mobiles.
Very cool, Bruce!
