StoryboardPics

=Adding Pictures to your Storyboard designs while you use the StoryBoard Builder=

To enter a picture to the StoryBoard Builder, you need to enter 3 pieces of information, then click LOAD PIC. 1. A **short name** for the picture (to serve as a descriptor that will show up in the drop down box for use by you and others in the future) 2. The **URL** for the picture (or a web version of the picture) 3. The ACTUAL **filename** for the piece of clip art that you are wishing to include in the activity.

//Note: It is very important for the Flashers to be able to find the original files so that the quality of the final activity is as high as possible. (Suggestion: Each storyboard lead will have a process so that the images used can be saved / catalogued and eventually passed onto the CLIPS development team when the storyboard is approved.)//

Here are TWO methods that you could use to track down the URL for a picture that you'd like to include in your storyboard.


 * METHOD # 1 - Using JING** (to take a snapshot of the picture, upload it via Jing to screencast.com, view the website, right-click image and copy the URL, then paste it in the StoryBoard Builder)


 * METHOD # 2 - Using this wikipage** (Convert picture to JPG, GIF, or PNG if needed / Edit this wikipage / upload file (must be a member of this wiki) / Save edits / right click and copy URL / paste into StoryBoard Builder.)

Upload a picture to this wikipage (using the EDIT PAGE button - then the FILE button in the Editor panel - then SAVE). Right-click on the picture and copy its URL (Copy Image Location).

Inside the Storyboard Builder - click on the PICs panel - then choose from the drop-down menu the option to
 * Load new pic *

Enter a short name to identify the picture in the first text box Enter the URL you just copied into the URL text box (Ctrl - V or Apple command-V) Click Load Pic button

Enjoy !
