Create your own Interactive Advent Calendar

Posted by: Hitachi Admin Hitachi Team
Hitachi staff member 2 months, 1 week ago

Create your own Interactive 
Advent Calendar
Note: There are three layers to each Advent Calendar 'square'.
LAYER 1 - SPECIAL EFFECT
(This could include a clipart/graphic or sound/movie file)
  • Insert a Christmas special effect for each box (see below).
  • Resize accordingly.
  • Place the special effect towards the top right hand side/middle of the date/number.
  • 'Order' the special effect to the 'bottom'.
  • 'Lock' the special effect into place.
  • Repeat the process for each special effect.
Christmas tree
LAYER 2 - DATE/NUMBER
  • Type in the date/number you wish to have on the front of each box.
  • Change the font style, colour, size, position as required.
  • Place the date/number to the far bottom left had side of the special effect.
  • Order' the date/number to the 'front' of each box.
  • 'Lock' the date/number into place.
LAYER 3 - BOX
  • In the Tool Menu, select rectangle.
  • Draw/stretch a rectangle/square of the size you wish.
  • Change the Object Properties so the box is 'filled' with your desired colour, not transparent.
  • Either 'Duplicate' or 'Infinite Clone' the original box the number of times you wish the Advent Calendar to represent, i.e. 25 days of Christmas or 31 days of December.
  • Drag each box to cover over a special effect. (If you have 'ordered' correctly, the special effect will be 'hidden' and the date/number will be revealed on 'top' of the box).
Note: Therefore the only movable object is the BOX so you can move to reveal each Christmas date and special effect.
