I love this, Thank You!! I'm learning it from scratch on my own; Need it for graphic design purposes so this HELPS!!

[sheepdogbenable]

Brilliant stuff! I’m a dev so have been building from Figma designs for years, but am now working on my own website / games so feel it’s finally necessary for me to use it properly. Trying to iterate on ideas using actual code is getting tedious 😅

[cmanzati]

[arran]

[kevikan]

Great video👍subsribed right in the middle of the video!

[Ellapinkette]

This was a great start. Thank you very much

[elsanovak]

I struggled with clicking and dragging the frame 1 to create frame 2 and the same with the button from frame 1 to be on frame 2. I had to copy and paste it however that meant that the auto layout didn't work either. i managed to get through and make the clickable prototype but it didn't click back I'm not sure if that was because of the solutions I did or if my version of Figma is 2024 so it didn't match your video?Anyway, this was a very nice video thank you for making it, I just got stuck in a few parts so would love to know from you Gemma how to get around it. Thanks :)

[AYOMIKUNEMMANUEL-mivz]
