I need a character walking on to the stage, stopping in front of a computer on a desk, then turning and bending over the computer screen with his back to viewer. Can this be done? The scene needs to look like he is trying to access a computer that is locked. I know how to sequence movements of characters like getting up from a chair and walking but this has me stumped.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Mary, and thanks for the question.
It is possible to do it, but it takes some custom work. When I picture something specific in my mind, I always try to find the best way I can do this WITH VYOND. So I let the tool determine how I can express my idea; in your case I’d have the character walk into the scene, sit down on a chair (facing the viewer) in front of a screen and start typing. Then the voice over will add the extra context of a security breach, or what you are depicting.
Hope it helps - otherwise I’ll try to build something similarly to what your are asking and send it to you, when I’m home for vacation in Norway :)
