Animated E-mail

[Steve Newport]

Hey, I am currently designing a page for my friends site and just got done animating this "e" for and email link. The problem is, the gif goes on a black background and there's a white line contouring the gif. Would someone please help me get rid of this!? [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif[/img]

Steve,

You might try placing the anim in a black Frame using HTML.

I'd be willing to bet you that your surrounding sqaure is not in even pixel amounts.

If you have a square that is 102.3 pixels, Xara will antialias the square to the background color, which in the case of your animation was probably white.

Make Pixels your units of measure. Enable Snap to Grid and make your background square in even pixels 102 pix vs 102.3 pix.

You can also make your animation page background black by Ctrl + dragging black from the screen palette onto the screen. Make your square invisible. Xara will take it from there.
