Creating Shapes to Use as Graphic Elements
In this section, you create and animate the rectangular boxes that move across the
screen. First, create a new layer to house the shapes. Next, you draw the first shape and
choose a color for the shape from one of the dolphin objects. Copy the shapes to make
a total of four, and then animate the shapes using the Throw behavior.
To create a new layer for the box graphic elements:
1 In order to maintain the “good housekeeping” rule, rename Layer to “dolphins” (in the
Layers tab) and click the disclosure triangle to collapse the layer.
2 In the Layers tab, click the Add New Layer button.
A new layer is created above the dolphins layer in the list.
3 Name the new layer “boxes.”
