Thanks Michael, That link is certainly on the right track. For me it looks rather complicated. Perhaps I need to learn some java script.
Thanks for your reply.

Who are you?
Hello, everyone! My name is Sara Schmidt Boldon and I have had so much fun working with Hype.
What is your industry/profession?
I am a Digital Production Specialist for a textbook publisher. I generate eBooks and digital learning supplements. I have been at this for about a year and a half. Previously, I was a graphic designer and did print layout for books and marketing materials. Before that, I made puppets and costumes for a living.
Where do you call home?
Saint Paul, Minnesota
What is your native language?
English
What have you made with Hype?
I have been creating interactive flash cards for our Spanish language program. Here is an example. My current project uses layered illustrations instead of photographs, which makes it easier to create more movement.
Would you call yourself a beginner, novice, or advanced?
Iām catching on, so I would say I am a novice.
Whatās your favorite design/animation tool (Other than Hype)?
I am learning Adobe Edge Animate concurrently, and that is going pretty well after a bit of initial frustration, but I love Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign as supporting design tools.
Whatās the first interaction or animation tool you ever used?
Aside from making flip books in grade school, I learned Flash just after the migration to Adobe from Macromedia.
What is your favorite animated film?

Hey folks, Mark here.
Iām an academic in the international development field, but my background includes teaching digital video editing in AVID and FCP, filmmaker mentoring, half-assed web design 
, tv & film production, broadcast news reporting and Spanishā> English translation. Yup, a mixed bag.
My current position at a university in Mexico includes some web-work (see my post elsewhere in the forums).
Although Iāve been in Mexico for a decade and counting, my heart & soul are back in the blueberry patch of Nova Scotia, Canada.
I speak English natively, Spanish passably, French horribly and a smattering of other words in various languages that will serve to acquire the essentials (food, beer, place to sleep).
Iāve played with Hype over the past few years, but havenāt had a reason to do much with it. A couple of conference websites (pre- and post) are where my current interest in Hype lie.
My technical level is āMac Guruā who recognizes his limitations. In Hype terms, Iām a novice.
Other design tool: Pixelmator is amazing. Or would be, if it had CMYK 
Animated film: so many to choose from. Letās say Wall-E, the first 10 minutes of Up!, Rango, The Big Snit (NFB short)ā¦

A post was split to a new topic: Shape drawing / manipulation feature requests
Hi Eeva, I am located in Finland too. I bought Hype years ago and kept it up-to-date but never have done any larger or commercial projects with it. Maybe we could establish a meetup group? I would benefit from talking to others and see how they solve problems etc.

Thanks! Yes - all the animation etc. is done with Hype - exported as movies and the final edit in Final Cut 
Could you share any stats about the project like how many hours for planing, producing, etc. ?
Did you storyboard ?
Who made the decision to go with Hype ?
Just curious.

Who? Hi, Iām Mikko, currently a student developing Hype skills to be able to land some freelance jobs.
Industry? I used to be a researcher (studying relations of art and technology, cultural policy). Once the Finnish state started dismantling universities I switched from a researcher and a teacher to being a student at a local college. While I still research and write I also study web and game development.
Oh and before being a researcher I also did some banner ads (Macromedia Flash) to customers alongside with audio design to multimedia cd-roms (remember those? 
). It seems my life has made a full circle and Iām back where I started - is there no escaping this continuum?
As you already must have noticed, my first language is not English. Iām from Finland and I speak Finnish. My Swedish is so, soā¦
Something to show? Iām getting to know Hype so thereās nothing to show yet. I made a parallax scroller today with placeholder graphics. I was thinking of incorporating javascript into Hype productions once I get to know the application better. Iām also interested in what Xcode and Swift3 together with Hype have to offer. Perhaps my main goals is to get things visualised in an inspiring way.
Novice? I would say that while Iām a novice on using Hype I have a background in making āmultimediaā productions with computers. That said, itās been a really long while since I last did any animations.
Tools and technologies? Iāve been doing some programming with canvas so I guess Vim and Google Chrome would be the most important choices while programming. Iām looking for an inexpensive replacement for Adobeās CS for making vector graphics and editing bitmaps. For designing games I use Spriter combined with Construct 2. Too bad Construct 2 is available only for Windowsā¦
My first animation tool? Deluxepaint on Commodore Amiga 500 was the first tool that I used in making bitmap animations. They were never used though.

Hey gang,
Time to step up to the mic, as DBear put it. Iām a software designer, recently independent after a long stint at a major Cupertino-based hardware/softare/OS/phone manufacturer. My focus has always been VFX and film/video, with a strong interest in photography. I also draw quite a bit (lots of illustration talent, I noticed in the Intros!). My skill set is enough js to make everybody miserable with my questions that, frankly, I would know the answer to if Iād taken a course. Otherwise Iāve been in production and software creation as UX designer for about, oh, 26 years. I can now be found at the hype-created unpressedbutton.com, based in Paris.
I use Shake for creation of my artwork and in the past to create sorta-interactive prototypes. Yes, thatās right, and it still runs great. Like others Iāve used BBEdit, Keynote and Omnigraffle and some other tools. My first animation software was VideoWorks 2 on a Fat Mac, and then I graduated to Thomson Digital Imageās Explore. Old school, baby.
Favorite animated film? Totoro - I donāt know why anybody would answer otherwise

Hi, Iām Joe. I ran a multimedia company for many years in London, UK. I started with HyperCard then moved to Macromind/Macromedia/Adobe Director, Flash and various 3D animation packages. I am retired now, living in Dorset and writing books (http://joegillespieauthor.com/). I just bought Hype because my publisher asked me to make some videos about my books to put on YouTube - so here goesā¦

Hi Daniel,
I am Dr. Adel Wagih Serag, consultant psychiatrist but so fond of educational technologyā¦I used to make packed presentation using Adobe director (was first Macromedia). But this Feb. Adobe decided cessation of Director support and work. It was simply insert the audio, image , text or video tracks and buttons for navigation. Also, frame animation was simple. But there were tons of bugs and frequent crashes. I read and I am so new to Hype 3 , I try to make simple educational slides, and info-graphs as an aid to simplify a tough subject. Of course trying to learn animation. I found Hype is more friendly than Adobe director and can be of better productivity but I am still slow regarding the interface. What is your advice and guidance?
