**jimdee2** · 30 April 2011, 01:57 PM

Guys, I have just purchased the Xara 7 as I made a logo design for our football teams website, but how do you save it, when I export to my desktop then open it it does not animate, it just a photo on the image....
I wish to put the animated logo on our website...cheers Jim

Jim can you attach your exported file to a post here at TG?

The file types that support animation for use on a web site are .gif or .swf.

Is it correct to export as GIF as I have done

Jim your .gif is animated but it only rotates once. Probably too quickly on your local system for you to see it.

Did you intend for it to make one rotation then stop?

Hi, no on my Xara page its

Frames per cyle-20
Frames per second-5
Loop-1
Pause-OCS

On the my Maker 7 page where I have designed my image it looks and turns the way I want it to, it would be constant spinning as for main page of our website

The Loop-1 is telling the program to create a one rotation animation then stop.

Uncheck the box beside Loop and it will rotate an unlimited number of times.
