Hey everyone! I'm reaching out for some advice on a project I'm working on. I have a background in graphic design and some experience with animation, but I'm not really a web developer or coder. I'm trying to make a magic eight ball that shows different outcomes when clicked. I've created an animated video, but I don't want it to simply switch to the last frame with the answer. I want it to have the effect of the ball actually being shaken first. I'm not sure if I can use the preset actions on this platform to achieve this since it's two different outcomes. Another option I considered was using video, but I'd encounter the same issue. If I use a GIF, it would need to loop through options, which doesn't allow for the randomness I want. I've noticed that randomizers typically require coding knowledge, and I'm not equipped for that. If I were to hire someone to help with this, what should I ask them to do? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

You could design it to show different frames with a random answer when clicked. The idea is to have the animation build up before revealing the outcome.

Thanks for the idea! Could you clarify a bit more? I’m starting from scratch here. Do you mean to export individual frames and then code it to land on a random frame?
