Problem with Jan 01 Tutorial (Xaraxone Animation)

[zombiebeat]

I get upto section 8 OK then I just can't seem to hook up the animation correctly.

I don't remember creating that animation, Zombie?

(Welcome to the conference, by the way).

Is you question how to sync the swoosh with your text at the bottom of the radar screen?

Hi, thx for the reply.

The original animation was a "radar" effect with a large X and "the Xaraxone" below it.
All was greyed out except the swoosh became coloured as it moved over each portion.
I don't know if it was one of your tutorials Gary but your the man to come to if you need help [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Thx,Zombie.
(PS Being able to sync the swoosh and text would be excellent

Yeah, believe it or not, they are all my tutorials. I can't believe it, but I guess it's true.

Anyway, you need to change the timing so the text on the bottom pcbenchmark.net starts to glow when the swoosh first passes over it and ends the glow after the swoosh passes off it.

Or, you could have an after effect whereby the text starts the glow just after the swoosh passes off the text and then glows for a second and then returns to normal.

That help any?

PCB's don't have a great reputation...

Gary,
I think so, If I just alter the frame order for the glow part that should do it?
