How to find/remove a place holder

[esanabri]

Hello,

I had a flash animation linked to a place holder... I have since removed the place holder but I still get the "embedded" flash animation exported in the folder with all the images and content for the site...

I have tried to go over every shape and object on the file while the placeholder window is up but I still can't find the reference?

Any Ideas?

Ernesto removing the placeholder from your .web document does not remove the .swf file from the index_htm_files folder. You must manually remove the .swf file.

That I understand, but how do I remove it from the .xar file so that it does not export anymore (in future updates) or is not embedded in it?

Any other ideas?

Have you cleared everything out of the Placeholder Tab?

It's not in the .xar file
It's in the support folder created by Xara when you first save your .xar file.
Look for a folder in the same location and by the same name as the .xar.

By the way,

I have been producing a new site following some of the tips and tricks I have found on the forum to make it faster to load with great and amazing success!

It would be great to have (if its not done already) a set of instructions / recomendations to make the sites easier for faster load times...

I mean an "all in one place" article or tutorial for this subject...

I just wanted to trough this in while I got your attention... thanks again

Glad to help.

For tutorial requests I'd advise starting a new thread or posting in the Dear Xara Web Designer.. forum.
