Another setting in the edit window that can affect animation is the Bounce setting. If the animating pieces don't have Bounce
checked, they will animate in the order they were put on in rotation,
(1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4 etc.) If Bounce is checked, the pieces
go back and forth(1,2,3,4,3,2,1,2,3,4,3,2,1 etc.) Sometimes this can enhance the animation
effect, and sometimes it's better not to use it. Experiment and see what works best for
your prop.
The list of built-in sounds includes amen, applause, belch, boom,
crunch, debut, fazein, guffaw, kiss, no, pop, teehee, and yes.

How to do it |
Move prop |
Select the prop with your mouse cursor and drag it
around. You will notice that you can't actually put a prop on somebody else; they have to
pick it up and decide to wear it. Similarly, you can't grab a prop that somebody else is
wearing; they must give it to you by dropping it (of course, it is possible to
"grab" props by doing a screen capture...) |
Put prop in prop window |
Drag the prop to your prop window, or select it, bring
up its prop menu, and select Take Prop. |
Put on prop |
Either drag the prop onto your avatar, or select Take and Wear from its pop-up menu. Both these actions also add the
prop to your prop window. You can also select Copy and Wear to
take and wear only a copy of the prop (leaving the original behind). |
Put copy of prop in your prop window |
This takes only a copy of a loose prop (leaving the
original behind). Either hold down the Control key while you drag the prop to your prop
window, or select Copy Prop from its pop-up menu. |
Delete prop |
Drag it to the Trash Can at the bottom right corner of
the screen. |
