Nice one! <:) And thanks for the tip Gary ;)
Sorry, I couldn't resist it.......
I'm glad you didn't, your Christmas combine is awesome.
Very clever Squeaky and hrhpaul.
Very nice work everyone, I really liked that animation from squeaky. I didnt know that you could add sound to xtreme flash files. Was that all done with xtreme ? I couldn't figure out what the sound was. I thought it was my cat getting into something and then I saw Gary's post that said to click on the box and there he was :)
No way to add sound to Xara flash (yet) Bruce.
I'd say the artwork was done in Xtreme but the flash done ine Adobe Flash or SwishMax at a guess ;)
Merry Christmas. Take heart it will all be over soon.

Hi Guys:
My workflow for the cat animation is as follows:
Pencil rough in Sketchbook pro.
Colour illustration In Xara Xtreme pro.
Backgrounds exported from Xara as swf's
Illustration used as a tracing image in Anime studio pro.
Animation done and exported from ASP to Flash as swf's
Everything put together in Flash CS3.
Actually I have put up an e-card site with this and some of my older Christmas cards (Pretty much the same workflow) should anyone want send any:
http://www.squeakycards.com
There are a few 'postcards' (no animation) cards done 100% in Xara.
Thanks for the work flow Squeaky, I see that you used 4 programs to make the card.
Derek thanks, I'll take heart.
Squeaky, love the cards, especially Jumper.
