Play your completed movie

When you play your movie, you'll look at the Score to see the Click Model Go to Marker behaviors in action.

1

Arrange the Score and the Stage so that they are both visible on your screen, and play the movie.

Notice how the movie plays from frame 1 to frame 9 in the Score and then loops back to the Intro marker.

2

Move the pointer on the Stage so that it is touching the left table or the cards on top of it (the Table 1 model).

3

Use the left mouse button (Windows) to click on the Table 1 model. (Macintosh users with a single-button mouse can simply click.) Notice the following:

The movie plays from frame 10, the frame labeled with the Cards marker, to frame 20. By clicking Table 1 during playback mode, you cause the action to jump to another marker on the Score.

The merchandise and pricing information that appears above the 3D world comes from the text sprite in frames 10 to 20.

4

Click the other tables to see where, in the Score, the playback head jumps.

5

Use the arrow keys alone and with the Control key to move the camera around the world. Use the Spacebar to reset the camera.

6

When you finish viewing your movie, stop and rewind it.
