My A-ha MomentsMy A-ha Moments1.The biggest thing was disabling the function that allows one to click anywhere on the screen, and navigate in a linear way! I thought this would be great, however this prevents animating the text on the clicks too.2.My second moment came when I found the “buttons” for home, start, next, etc. I think I looked everywhere except the obvious “shapes” section!3.My final moment came when I realized I had to save a file as a “.gif” to keep it animated.
