April 2014 Tips and Tricks - Playing With Fire (In a Fun, Harmless way) with Xara

Terriific, better be careful putting the flame image below the image of the candle though cause the way it is now you might just catch the candle image on fire.

how do you open this

[Gare]

Hi darylllyn and welcome to the Xara Xone thread of TalkGraphics!

Erm, "how do you open this", I'm sorry to say, is fairly vague. I see by your profile that you do not use any Xara software, so if you're trying to open Xara-specific content, you're climbing up the wrong tree.

If "this" refers to something else, can you elaborate? For example, "How do I open a can or sardines?" is an easy one because the sentence uses a noun, and the key to the sardine problem is a key.

Explain a little more, please?

Thanks,

Gary

Thanks for your kind comments, Larry.

Joking aside. I tried and I tried to make the Candle be after the flame image.
No matter what I tried, the candle always ended up being first.
So, if you know how, I would love to know.

I think it's to do with the image size.

what I do is insert them all using the 'Insert Inline' option - even then it is often necessary to cut and paste the bb code into the right place/order in the text - but it usually works

[wizard509]

Maybe you got your answer Rik. Handrawn to the rescue.

EDIT: If his answer doesn't work then we have no choice but to get you know who after him.

[handrawn]

excellent candle Rik, but I would expect nothing less

thanks for the tutorial Bob

just in case Larry releases the beast maybe I had better make myself scarce....

[wizard509]

No don't do that handrawn, you are too helpful. I'ii try to be good, promise.

Hi all

I would like to create a flickering fire effect for a log burner site - Csehz, I was wondering if you would mind explaining how you created the 'wave' effect you produced please?
