    I tried making this animation, but I can't seem to make the lettering not blink. Any help or suggestions would be great.

    Thanks

    Danny,

    You need to make sure that the Happy Birthday is in the exact same place in each frame of the animation. Place it where you want it in the first frame, make a copy using Ctrl/C and then paste it into subsequent frames using Shift/Ctrl V (this will paste the copy into the exact same place.

    Hi Danny
    Mickie is right about having the text in the same place for each frame. I took a look at the frames of your animation. Some of the frames did not have the text visible so I added it in there for you.
    You can save this file and then open it in Xara and take a look a the frames in the frame gallery to see what I changed.

    Hi Danny,

    Put the happy birthday on the first layer, The ballons on all the other layers... Make the happy birthday a background layer. If you need the ballons to "fly" behind the sig, then just put a copy of the sign on those layers where the ballons should be behind it.

    Thanks to everyone, thats exactly what I was looking for. I thought this project would be quick and easy but ended up consuming a lot of
    time.

    Thanks Again
