Puzzled...

The above screengrap is of an imported swf file. Only one layer and all objects positioned frame by frame.

Below is the original fla file with layers tweens etc etc intact.

Paul,

I agree totaly with that. If you've got Flash use Flash to create your animations. XtremePro's swf animations are designed for nonFlash owners.

Egg, the flattening caught me out - I initially thought it was down to Xtreme Pro - not pretty, is it?

I was puzzled by the apparent absence of tweening in the imported swf - I wondered if it was just something else I did not understand!

Another giant waste of programming time without any real functionality for professional users ... pro people already have flash and photoshop ... they're the tools of the trade ... you have to have them if you're a serious designer ...

It's get another waste of development time to appease the hobbists.

When will Xara Ltd wake up, take them selves seriously and support the professionals that use the tool.

Calm down! I imagine that the progamming effort cannot have been huge - they already had the drawing, the layers and the SWF output - the work was in filling in the gap.

I have Flash - which I use *occasionally* and always struggle with; the XPro tool is great for the easier stuff - with a drawing interface/toolset that I understand. I still hope that I can (as I had experimented with) create symbols and small movies to import into Flash and then do the more complex stuff there - when I need to. Yes, there are serious Flash experts around, but then there are Flash-dabblers like me.
