Xara animations with sound
Not sure if this has been discussed before...apprecite any insights into the following:
Is there a way to attach sound/music files to the animations as created in Xara? Is there any application that one can use to create customized music/sound files or possibly download them? I am looking into creating greeting cards with sound clips but didn't find any information anywhere.
Thanks
Re: Xara animations with sound
Looking into xara help, I found this:
Note: Xtreme Flash animation does not support complex advanced features such as scripting, sound or embedded movies.
The only solution to this problem could be using the very-costly Flash CS3 tool.
Re: Xara animations with sound
You may want to try Swish or one of the other alternative programs that are much less expensive than Flash.
Re: Xara animations with sound
Thanks Bill! Didn't realize that Swish was an alternative. I will take a look at that.
Thanks again,

I made two Xara flash animations for my happy new year wishes (see thread http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthread.php?t=30590 ) and added sound. This is what I did : first I downloaded the free sound editor Audacity : http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ and when my sound was ready I added this html code beneath the flashmovie in the webpage : <embed src="soundname.mp3" loop=1 autostart=true width=300 height=16>
I hope this works :)

KoolMoves is a cheap ($49) piece of software I've used in the past that will make flash movies and add sound. You could upload your Xara work and add sound to it.
Here's the link if you want to check it out.

Re: Xara animations with sound
I already have flash CS3 and It's too dificult for me to do an animation from scratch. However, i know how to do small things like put sound in. How would I use Xara for the animation and Flash for the sound?
