How to make a button in Giotto?
This is what you will get after finishing this tutorial:So, let’s begin!
- First create a new blank document in which you will make your animation by clicking File from the menu, then New (Ctrl+N).
- Change the document properties:
- Click Modify from the menu, then Document. This will open a Document Properties dialogue screen (shortcut Ctrl+J).
- Change the color of the background to black.
- Create a circle by using the Oval tool (O).
- Convert the drawn circle to a button by pressing F8.
- Convert to Symbol window will appear, type in the name of your button (“The Button” for instance), select Button, then click OK.
- Double-click on your movie clip in the Library to enter its timeline.
- You can now see that the timeline has changed considerably. You can now see only 4 frames: Up, Over, Down and Hit.
- The button only needs these four conditions to function. In each frame you should specify what will the button look when in the specified condition: Up – when there is no interaction between the user and the button; Over – when the cursor hovers above the button; Down – when button is pressed; Hit – designated area where the button can be activated (can be larger or smaller than the drawn object).
- Change the brush of the circle to some shade of blue and from the brush window dropdown menu select Radial brush. For the second color we chose red.
- Select Text Tool (T) and write “The Button!!!” with white font.
- With Selection tool (V) move the text on the button.
- Now right-click on the “Over” button timeline frame and from the context menu select Insert Keyframe.
- The exact copy of the button you created will appear.
- Select the circle and change its two colors of its radial brush to be a little brighter.
- Also add new text with Text Tool (T) in the circle “Hovering…”.
- Now right-click on the “Down” button timeline frame and from the context menu select Insert Keyframe.
- Select the circle and change its two colors of its radial brush to be darker than the original.
- Also, change the “Hovering…” text with “Clicked!”.
- We will leave the “Hit” frame empty because we want our whole circle to act as a button. To make the click area smaller or larger just insert a new keyframe in the “Hit” frame and change the size of the circle to designate the click area.
- You can now test your button by clicking Ctrl+Enter.
