alice-teacher moving objects together

[Vince Devlin]

Debbie,
For this exercise, I always used the characters that had the instruments attached. Since the focus of the exercise is on parameters, I agree that the characters you are using allow your students to focus on the passing of parameters to methods.

Concerning your other issue with the instrument moving with the character, can you provide any more details that might help in determining why your use of the vehicle property was not successful?

I thought about having my students download the one that comes with the textbook and the instruments are already there with each of the characters. When I tried it on my own, and downloaded sounds and created the method where they move up and down, the instrument does not move with them.
