I have done an animation although I had wanted to keep the file size down by using the setting scene within which the animation runs only once. The trouble is, in Xara the setting scene would have to be the background. Overlays only apply to one previous frame, not to all of them. In this particular animation the animated part has to be at the back. Not seeing any way to do what I wanted to do in XaraX, I just used the setting scene in each frame and as I expected the file size is far too large for the gallery. I didn't even bother uploading it. It's well over 2 megs and on a 56K modem would take nearly 6 minutes to download. I tried optimizing in Ulead, but that didn't reduce the file size.

Is there any solution?
