    Default Reveal/scroll animation - once only isn't once only?

    I'm working on a website for a new client and am struggling with web animations.
    Even though I've ticked the ONCE ONLY box, when I scroll back up or down the age, the objects keep on revealing.
    Also some of the heading/icons slide in a different speeds even though they are soft grouped together.
    Here's a link to the test site:
    http://www.logostore.co.za
    and the file if anyone want to take a look.

    PS: and no Acorn, I'm not smart enough...

    Bug Re: Reveal/scroll animation - once only isn't once only?

    LGF, you are. It's simply Xara fails to test things enough.

    1. All the hard work with soft-grouping may be your let-down.
    2. It is also possible there are too many for Xara's code to handle them all properly.


    For the first approach:
    • Remove Soft-Group, Group & re-apply Fade In, Once only and Delay.
    • When you do this, check it all performs as it should.
    • The trade-off is extra graphics.
    • My testing on your design seems to prove it is this.

    For the second:
    • Delete half the page and check if the Once only now works.
    • If this, I would probably play with Text Inside to reduce the number of Animations.

    My testing indicate the first is the buggy bit.

    Hi Acorn - took al the soft groups away and either grouped elements or left them as is.
    Turfed all the content out except for the first section and it worked!
    Copied and pasted content back section by section and all good.
    Many thanks once again
