Welcome Wizard, this is just an animated gif. You can create them in Xara if you open an animation file, type in your text and give it a glow shadow (You'll need to change the shadow colour to white from the default red). Duplicate that frame and change the value of the shadow, repeat as often as you want then choose Export Animation and choose gif.
Get back if you have problems.
wizard7669 you really threw me for a loop, because your screen name is similar to mine. Welcome to TG.
Thought it was your post too originally Larry until I noticed the number of posts ;)
I also thought like that :D
how do you duplicate the frame?......just to remind you i am completely new to this program due to the fact that i just bought it yesterday......lol :) and is there a video or a post i can see or read on how to do this?Quote:

Don't forget about it wizard7669 I would have told you but wasn't sure of my facts.
so can anyone explain it to me?
Hi Wizard, I can explain how to do it in Xara Designer or Xara Web Designer but I don't think this can be done in xara 3d. Are you sure it was xara 3d she made it in?
I can do it in Xara Designer but not in X3D.
thats what she told me egg but i can ask again
ok what version of designer......web designer, web designer premium, photo and graphic designer or designer pro x?......lolQuote:

Ok i figured out how to make the letters glow now i have to figure out how to make it stop doing this? do you see how its flashing and it looks like ones on top of the other?
Within the animation? If so in the property's tab click animation loop and speed and UN-check the loop continuously box and loop 1 time. Doing this will play the entire animation and stop on the last frame. Hopefully you copied one that is not glowing and made that the last frame.
Attachment 96267i tried that and its still doing it.......any other suggestions?
It seems to me that usually just deleting a frame will not stop something from happening, you have to undo back to before the event started. So I would say remake your animation from scratch starting with a new animation. Maybe you don't want it animating nor glowing, I don't know, nor do I know how you went about making the glow in the first place. Please submit your file and someone may figure out what is wrong.
7669, your own animation is so small I can't see what's going on at all. You're far better off working large and when your happy rescale the animation down. I attach a xar file which hopefully will show you the way but do bear in mind that working at the size your using may cause a lot of optical illusions.
Reduced in size it becomes rubbish.
the problem between yours and mine egg is that i want to turn it into a gif and yours is a flash file and where im trying to post the picture it doesnt take flash based files or swf files jpeg or gif only
My xar file is just an animation file. You can "Export Animation" as either a SWF or a GIF. The Gif doesn't tween, it's just a series of frames converted to graphics, but for this type of animation it's not a great problem either way. Gif's are restricted to 256 colours. So either export your animation as a gif or swf whichever suits. Another way is to export it as a swf and import it into Googles on line swf to html5 converter Swiffy and use the resultant html5 on your page in a placeholder. If you're wanting to place it on an oline forum etc it'll have to be a gif, you can't have animated jpg's.
Here's the same file exported as a gif. Click the thumbnail to see it animate.
I made a flashing gif in Xara 3d7.
METHOD: open sample = fade. Then change word Xara Attachment 99189to wizard
Animation options .per cycle set = 20 per second = 220 pause = 90
fade in (tick) fade out (tick) window frame size = 235 X 90 pixels
sorry could not find how to delete anim 1 with fades
anim 2 has the ticks removed from fade in/fade out
doesn't make any difference on the Xara site. still shows the fades anyway, but on my computer is an instant fast on/off
Alister, Under the animation tab increase] the pause and frame rates, and I think you will get what you closer to what you want. mine is a bit jumpy but I hope you get the idea.
Also check both fade in and fade out.
