Q: How to create animation like in the book "Beatles Yellow Submarine"

Good day!

I'd like to ask a quick question towards iBook Author: please consult me if I can create the HTML widget with ability to play animation without being opened fullscreen? (let's say I have a picture of a flower and want to add some bees flying around it) If yes, please point me to source I can read about it. If no - please advise me the tool I can use to create build-in animation (like in the book "Beatles Yellow Submarine" done).

Thank you for your time and looking forward for reply!

iPad, iBooks Author

    Yellow Submarine was not made with iBooks Author.

     

    Note that the YS book is available for iPhone and iPad.

    K T is right about YS not being made with IBA.

     

    Using IBA to create your book, you could use keynote to create an animation and insert the KN file into your ibook. When the user taps the KN image it can start the animation. Not as elegant as what's done in yellow submarine, but it can certainly do the trick in many instances.
