How to animate a card flip?
Hello everyone,
I want to animate a card that flips when the user clicks, something like a memory card. By just changing the states, the card has no movement and the animation paths in storyline s...
Hi, Najam--
Thanks so much for this. How did you set the toggling square to swivel when clicked?
I've applied the "Swivel" animation in the revealed state. You can see that by selecting the square, go in state, edit 'revealed' state and see the animation tab in the Ribbon on the top.
By default, you cannot apply animation in a new state but there is a well known hack. Just edit the new state, click on the object, cut it and then paste it, you can now apply animations on it.
Najam,
I downloaded your sample file for the the card flip animation and I'm reading your instructions above and still cannot figure out, one how you created a new state named 'Revealed' and two how you hacked this state so you could apply the swivel transition animation to the card. Is there any way you could provide some more explicit instructions with screen shots perhaps? I'm really needing to creating this type of user interaction and need some assistance.
Thanks,

I opened your sample file back up again and walked thrrough the instructions that you stated above and I was able to get it to work! Thank you again for this tutorial and sample file. It will really help me out.
