If you could go through every Xara forum and thread therein, pick out then collate each of the suggested tuts, workbooks, newsletters, manuals, etc into an ordered list with a short description and author notes, we would be happy to discuss your suggestion in the Moderators forum.
Thank you
Re: Egg's Video Tutorials
Of course, I suppose you could have a Sticky forum. The place where all of the stickies could live. :rolleyes:
Back on topic, What sort of Abstract Art style is wanted, does it have a name, or can it be likened to something such as "Mondrian" or "Jackson Pollack"?
Saludos,
Bob.

I have an easier and more effective solution. Start with a sticky that lists the resources that are already well known (but not necessarily easy to be found), such as Gary Priester's tuts, Xara's newsletter archive, Egg's videos, Xhris' videos. When users suggest to add additional resources/links, the Moderators forum can decide what goes in and what does not.

Have you had a chance to check the Tips and Tricks forum?
Aside from all the user submitted T&T's (dating back to 2001!), there are listed collections such as:
Tutorials (with thumbnails and short descriptions)
and
Video Tutorials index.
Re: Egg's Video Tutorials
Yes, I have seen those and I have tried out a few of the (video) tuts in the past. Please note, though, that the video list hasn't been updated since 2006 and the tutorial list not since 2007.
However, your last post is how I imagine the one-post sticky thread to look like more or less. One post, with links and short descriptions, but then more complete and kept updated. I especially would like to see such a list for XWD resources and I believe that many forum visitors would like it.
I understand that you guys are volunteers and have other things to do beside moderating. So, I am quite willing to put together a collection of available XWD resources but if it is not being stickied, it will only be a thing that will just get lost in 'the big (and rapidly growing) pile'. That's why I suggested that you guys do it.

Your efforts would be certainly be much appreciated by all members and certainly all forum moderators. We encourage and applaud such willingness by any member wanting to contribute time and effort to the TG community as a whole.
I would be quite happy to add your updated list to the stickies in the Tips and Tricks forum.
Thanks for your interest :)
Re: Egg's Video Tutorials
Hi,
I'm desperate :'( I don't know what I'm doing wrong...
I try to implement the Flash Navbar as explained in the tutorial ...
So this is what I've done:
- New animation
- On Frame 1
- Create black rectangle 400W x 40H
- Name it as Background
- Within (on top) of the black rectangle, create a smaller white one 50W x 20H
- Name it as Button
- Rename Frame 1 into "Frame 1;STOP"
- Copy Frame 1
- On Frame 2, change the color of the Button
- Copy Frame 2
- On Frame 3, change again the color of the Button
- Rename Frame 2 into "Frame 2;GOTO Frame 3"
- Rename Frame 3 into "Frame 3;GOTO Frame 2"
Then I defined the following attributes:
- On Frame 1;STOP
- In Mouseover of the Button as Jump to "Frame 2;GOTO Frame 3"
- On Frame 2;GOTO Frame 3
- In Mouseover of the Button as Jump to "Frame 3;GOTO Frame 2"
- On Frame 3;GOTO Frame 2
- In Mouseover of the Button as Jump to "Frame 2;GOTO Frame 3"
A link is assigned to the Button in Frame 2 & 3 only.
Testing this stage, cycles the colours of the Button between Frame 2 & 3 as soon as mouse is over the Button.
In continues cycling when the mouse gets off the Button
But, as soon as I specify in Frame 2 or 3 to jump to Frame 1;STOP in Mouseover of the Background, nothing happens anymore.
So my question now is: what am I doing wrong?
I work with XXP5 build 5.1.1.9166
Hoping somebody can help me with this one.
Kind regards,
Joly
Re: Egg's Video Tutorials
Hi Joly,
Could you supply the link to that particular tutorial? Some were created at the dawn of time and trying to remember each one becomes more difficult with each receding year ;-)

Hi Egg,
The link is http://talkgraphics.com/showthread.php?t=40422 which you refered to in the first post of this thread. It is the one for creating animated Flash navigation bar and consists of 4 parts.
I also provided the XAR-file, without the mouseover-definitions for the background in Frames 2 & 3.
Hoping you can help me :(
Thanks in advance,
Joly
