My Yuletide Contribution

Here's a Yule Tree I made in Xtreme Pro and exported to Flash. I'm going to try to try to embed it. Hope it works.

Happy Holidays, Will. Very nice animation.

Very nice indeed.

Thanks for the compliments! Before I started reading this forum, I wouldn't even have known how to make the basic drawings, much less animte them!

By the way...notice how the highlights lag behind the balls in one part of the animation?

That drove me crazy, then I realized where I screwed up. I applied the highlights and grouped them with the ornaments AFTER I had named the shapes. I have since redone it, putting the highlights on the ornaments, grouping them and THEN naming them!

I need to remember this, cause I'm sure some day the perfect opportunity to use this effect will come up.

Sally...

Glad you like it. I hope you know that you were one of the people who encouraged me to keep trying!

I learned so very much from doing this. Made LOTS of mistakes along the way, and learned something from every one of them.
