Flex Text

[Iggy]

Been looking throughout the forum for a thread on animating text. I haven't seen or found anything discussing this. Is there a way to animate text in Xara? What do I mean? Well, I have a FAQ page. When the user scrolls over a Question, I would like for the answer beneath it to enlarge. Is this possible to do?

Relatively simple. Q & A on the MouseOff layer. Copy A to a new layer (Fred) and enlarge and fit a colour background under it, enough to cover the A on the MouseOff layer. Last step is select the Q and set Web Properties > Web Animation > Show pop-up layer: Fred and Effect: Fade in for 2 seconds.

No, if it was life and death it would have been the Sword of Damocles...
