Card One

The NBA Roll Credits can be added to any object on your card in order to activate a text object to "scroll" the text . A button, graphic object, or the text object itself can use this New Button Action to activate the text within a specific text object to "scroll". You can activate the Roll Credits NBA on a text object/box itself or have a button activate the "named" text object/box using the automatic timer (also on the Actions box).

Text can be inserted into a text object/box by typing it into the text box or highlighting some text from another source, such as a Word document or even the a Web page, and pasting the text into the text box.

Begin Practice: Cards 6-8 will include practicing adding Roll Credits to a text object, a button that is provided on the card, and putting in your own button to add this NBA to. The names of the text object are included to activate for each card.

• Name the text box -family tree
• Number of Steps -0 (this will scroll to the end of text box)
• Speed-10 (you can adjust this)

Then click ok again to get out of the NBA box.

Finally click DONE to get out of the Actions box. This will complete adding the NBA Roll Credits.

This card will cover adding R oll Credits to a button which activates the text object. You will

use Automatic Timer on the Actions box to set when the text will "scroll".

• This step is optional for those that want to change the name of the button provided. You can name the button, choose an invisible button, or choose an icon to represent the button. This depends upon the use for text object that will scroll the text. Most of the time you do not need a visual button, you only need the button to activate the text to scroll. That is why an invisible button is usually used to activate this NBA action. For this card we will just practice adding the NBA Roll Credits to a button. You do not have to change the name.

• If you want to name your button,double-click on the button to bring up Text Appearance box and name your button. Try naming the button Read Instructions or click to start. You may use any text on the button that will indicate an action can be performed.

• Name- Instructions (name of the text object/box you are
  adding the NBA-Roll Credits to)
• Number of Steps- 0 (this will scroll to the end of text box)
• Speed-10 (you can adjust this)

• Name the text box:: rollcredits2 (use exact spelling-no space between words)
• Number of Steps -0 (this will scroll to the end of text box)
• Speed-10 (you can adjust this)

*You can also choose to scroll by lines but pixels usually works better

Scroll Direction: Vertical or horizontal

*To make the text come in sideways, select horizontal

Select as soon as card is shown or after so many seconds.

If you select Activate after ___ seconds, then you need to set the time. You can set it at 1, 2, 3, or more if desired. The default setting is 3 seconds as seen on the image above.
