Flash video times

Hi,
I have a question for animation time (length), if I want to make an animation last for 1 minute, at 29 frames per second would the # of frame be 1740 at 1 sec display?
I used 60secX29frames, is that correct?

No the frame number would be 29 at 1 second delay and 1740 @ 1 minute. How do you want to use this, your surely not going to make an animation with 1740 frames by hand are you?

Well, Xara Designer will create the frames be'tween based on the timing for each frame. Just do the math for each frame where an object changes until to overall timing is one minute.

Here's a one minute animation consisting of two frames.

And another Same 2 frames

Hi,
Egg yes I was contemplating it...but not sure now...the whole idea was to create animation that I was going to incorporate into my video editing program. I have a few ideas but they are just ideas right now. I did create one in Xara 3D and exported as avi then just duplicate the sequence to get my duration longer than the Xara 3D time.
Thanks to both you and Steve for the feedback...
Jim
p.s. Back to the drawing board..
