             Lab Activity 2

             Let us create an animation of a flying cat by changing its costumes.
                1.  Create a new project.
                2.  Under the Costumes tab, add the Cat Flying-b and Cat Flying-a

                    costumes.
                3.  In the Paint Editor, select a costume and type a new name in the

                    Costume text box, as shown in the image. We have named
                    the costumes Cat 1, Cat 2, Cat 3, and Cat 4.
                4.  Create the stack of blocks as shown in the image.

                5.  Click the Go        button to execute the project.
                    The Cat sprite runs some distance, jumps into the air, and

                    flies. Some images are given for your reference.














            CHANGING BACKDROP OF STAGE
            The background of the Stage is called the Backdrop. By default, the Stage has a white

            backdrop. You can add new backdrops for the Stage using the Choose a Backdrop button
            in the Backdrop pane.

            Adding a New Backdrop

            The Backdrop pane provides options to add new backdrops to the Stage.
            To add a new backdrop:
                1.  In the Backdrop pane, move
                    the mouse over the Choose a

                    Backdrop          button.
                    A list of options pops up.

                2.  Select the Choose a
                    Backdrop        option.                                       3

                    The Backdrop Library opens.

                3.  Select a desired backdrop.
                    The selected backdrop  is  displayed on  the Stage,  and  its
                    thumbnail is added to the Backdrops list.
