Fellow Xara users,
I was trying to follow Steve Newport’s Flag mini tut and ran into the following problem. Not sure if I have a setting wrong or if Xaxa is not working properly?
I imported a .jpg flag image from Steve’s tut and used the mold tool to manipulate the image (tried it as a .jpg and Windows Bit Map extention) using the Circular and Banner envelopes.
The Banner envelope only distorted the edges of the flag image while the Circular envelope caused the flag image to tile?
I made my own flag “Icon” consisting of a red filled rectangle - added a white rectangular stripe and Blended the stripes. Grouped the results of the Blend and the red rectangle and used the same tools described above in the flag image. The right hand top and bottom images show images before any Mold was applied.
Does anyone have any insight into what might be happening?
Bob C.
