Solve These Questions

1. I downloaded the following image: soccerball.jpg but I it will not load in as a sprite. Why NOT?

Answer: Pivot uses only .png or .gif

2.I want the animation dimensions to be Width 900 Height 450 then loaded a background image: height 200 width 200.

This warning pops up:

What happens when I choose Yes?
What happens if I choose NO?


Answer: If you choose "Yes" the animation dimension's will be the size of the image. If you choose "No" the animation dimensions will not change and remain the same.

Friday POST February 03, 2017 - BLOG

What did you do this week?

I enhanced my blog by adding posts, images and links.

The assignments I did:

  • First Post
  • Predicted Grade
  • What I Want To Learn In IT
  • Groundhog Day
  • Friday POST February 03, 2017 - BLOG

What did you learn?

1. I learned how to create a link by highlighting a word and then clicking on "Link" to add a link to that word.
2. I learned how to change the background of a blog post. I did this by going in the "HTML" tab of my post and using these HTML tags to change the background color:

<div style="background=blue>

</div>

I can also change the background to an image by using:

<div style="background: url(&quot;     &quot;);">

</div>

And adding a link to an image between "&quot:"

3.I learned search for a gif and images with transparent backgrounds. I did this by going to google and searching for an image I wanted, then I selected "Tools" and went under "Type" and selected "Animated" for a gif.
For an image with a transparent background I searched for an image on google, selected "Tools", then selected "Color" and selected "Transparent".
4.I learned how to change the background of my blog by selecting "Design", "Customize", "Background", "Choose an Image" and "Upload Image".



What I Want To Learn In IT

In IT  I want to learn how to create apps and games for mobile devices. Another thing I would like to learn is how to animate gifs and videos with After Effects or Flash.

Groundhog Day

Groundhog Day is celebrated in North America on the 2nd of February. On this day the groundhog comes out of its hole to see if its shadow is there. If the groundhog sees his shadow he will get scared and return to his hole to sleep and winter will continue for six more weeks, but if it doesn't see his shadow the groundhog doesn't return to its hole and the weather will get better. According to history Groundhog Day is based on a Christian festival called Candlemas Day from medieval Europe. At that time instead of the groundhog the weather was used to predict whether winter was over or not.


Punxsutawney Phil's prediction is that the groundhog will see its shadow and there will be more winter.

Wiarton Willie's prediction is opposite from Punsutawney's and is that there will be an early spring.
