Introduction
The library is central in Yooba Studio when adding any kind of
object. You navigate to the library via the Add
tab in the toolbar, and then click Image. The library can also
contain other types of file, such as a PDF file that can be linked
from a button.
You can always access the library by double
clicking anywhere on the work area.
The library appears as in the image below. If there are a lot of
objects in a category, you can browse between the pages using the
navigation menu at the top.
Add objects from the library to the scene
There are three ways of adding an object to the scene:
- Select the object you want to add and click
Add.
- Double click the object you want to add.
- Grab the object and drag it to the scene.
Upload and use of own files
To upload a file of your own click Upload,
select the file you want and click Ok. You will
find your uploaded files at the Personal tab. You
can upload multiple files at a time.
The supported file types are:
Images: .jpg, .png, .gif
Flash Movies: .swf
Video: .flv
Sound: .mp3
Other files: .pdf
It's a good idea to minimise the file
size of images you upload and use in your project. A tip is to
prepare the files with the height, width and length they will need
beforehand - because even if a picture is scaled down in Yooba
Studio, its original size remains. Therefore create your graphics
at the ratio of 1:1! Your published project will load faster
and run more smoothly.
Adding folders
You can create folders to organise your own files at the
Personal Library tab. To do this, click the
Add Folder button and type in a folder name in the
dialog that appears.
Since the library can contain files of different types (such as
images, videos and sounds) it's possible to filter for specific
file types, using the drop-down in the top-right corner.
Removing folders and files
You can remove both personal folders and uploaded files. To
remove a folder, select it and click the Remove button. To remove
one or more files, simply select them and click the Remove
button
Removing a folder will also remove all files in that folder.
Caution: These operations cannot be undone.
Use pre-built objects
There are numerous pre-built objects that are available for all
Yooba Studio users. These are sorted in categories. A pack can
include clips, videos, audio and other resources that you can use
in your projects.
Search for objects
There is a built-in search function that will make life easier
when trying to find the right objects. The search function is based
on the tags you have given your objects when uploading them.
Change size of thumbnails
By dragging the slider to the left and right you can change the
size of the thumbnails.
