how to make animated hand for Explaindio 3

We opened animated hand specification do everybody can make own animated hand for Explaindio 3

For animated hand we use swf for animation. I’m linking below the one we use as well as the fla souces to better see how it should be made

Click here do download animated hand sample code

For the demo animation is just a hand with pen, moving the pen up and down. We using 100 frames for this animation and we choose the total movement distance (tip of pen from up to down) = 100px

This is not a requirement, you can make the movement bigger or smaller and even the animation frame number can be higher or smaller.

You can add the animated hand from the “Pen Galery” (clicking “Set Hand” from effects tab) and selecting “Add Animated Pen” button and going through the process.

For test we just using one of the hands cut in half with a “hinge” at the wrist cause we couldn’t do it better with real (that is just to show you how you can make your own good one.

As you can see in the hand fla, the hand has an up and down movement but the tip of the pencil remains in the same place, I have a small black dot in place, you will have to do the same., look at the fla for a better understanding or let me know.

Fixes and changes done between Explaindio 2.002 and 2.003

Here if full list of bug fixes and changes done between 2.002 and 2.003

NEW FEATURE: Reverse Text Writing. Now works with Right to Left languages like Arabic, Hebrew etc

Main Bug Fixed: Import of some fonts containing special characters. PLEASE TEST IF NOW YOU CAN IMPORT ALL FONTS WHICH DID NOT WORK BEFORE

It also fixed freeze on loading fonts for those fonts.

1. Fixed: Sometimes stuck on “writing final frames to video longer than 4,300 frames

2. Fixed: Draw Fill status not saved in project

3. Fixed: When adding text, and changing the font – scrolling for font also zooms out the image/scene.

4. Fixed: When setting the hand to write text, no alternative hand appears while the text is displayed.

5. Fixed: Problem with import of animated popup screem right controls cut up when screen is 1280

6. Fixed: When IMPORT is done, it shows “Importompt” not “Import Complete.”

7. Fixed: If I use the fly-in option for an object and select the straight from top or straight from bottom arrow button, the object flies in at an angle from the center instead of straight up and down unless the object is placed right in the middle of the canvas:

8. Fixed: Canvas zoom scroll error happening again

9. Fixed: he text get flipped when I make it very small

10. Fixed: Resizing the Explaindio Screen Hides the Animation Panel on the left.

11. Fixed: Remove Point – Add Point” only showed half of the “Remove Point” icon (because it was to far to the left on the canvas, both on full screen and re-sized ),

12. Fixed: Sometimes when adding a video to multi-video slides, it creates a new slide with the video instead. When I close the slide it created, the video was also added where it was supposed to be .It is random to all the Video Areas.

13. Fixed: Open canvas button on top of “Auto Repeat” text.

14. Fixed: Inside a canvas when you scroll down the fonts list it also shrinks the size of the canvas, if you scroll up it does the opposite.

15. Fixed: Clone slides is not keeping “Draw Fill Text” setting

16. Improved: Add fast adding of animation slide with adding back button “Add Animated Slide” but working differently. If used in 2.0 Pro it will simply do a few actions in background to save clicks. So will if not scene will just create new screen, click add animatio/slide and then add Animated slides. In other words it will save 3 clicks.

17. Fixed: When I try to use the animation feature, the box with the point sets and frames only shows up on part of the frame and I do not have access to the point sets.As per attached screen shots…. tried to reduce the video frame size…. no luck.

18.Fixed: When you copy a slide with a drawn object that has been resized the copy reverts to the original size. Please fix so copy of a slide should is exact copy with all same settings.

19. Fixed: In beta testing with Explaindio V2. Something I noticed is that when you go to export a scene and then import it to use that scene again, only a portion of the scene comes in. The thumbnail image of the custom scene looks complete when you go to select it, but only the first slide of the scene gets imported. Works great in version 1, but it doesn’t work in version 2.

20. Fixed: Don´t recognize ñ, á,é,í,ó,ú and ü. and other nations characters

21. Improved: Remove “Sketch” word from both buttons after + because it is misleading

22. Improved: Replace text “Add Video From Disk” with “Add Video From Local Storage”

23. Improved: rename module to “Royalty Free Footage”

24. Improved: Change application icon to new logo

25. Improved: Add ability to add more than one line of text on text box

26. Improved: Set “Draw Fill Text” as the default setting (by default checked)

27. Improved: Add “Unregister all other devices” button also on alert screen with to many computers. Now is only on login which people does not see when already logged.
