Animation in Xara Revisited

[Egg Bramhill]

Try this xar file. It's very similar to the effect you want. To create the flicker just create a black shape over a bitmap (bitmap in this case is in the background layer) name the shape "darkener" and copy the frame and change darkeners transparency. Repeat as often as required. To view the effect go File / Preview Flash. n.b. in the attached xar the darkening shape is named "black"
