Sorry James but I've already deleted the file - it's rubbish!!

What I do with mock-ups is to use various programs to create the effect - Animation Shop, Video Editor, Macromedia Flash etc. etc..

The reason I don't export my files in Flash format is that the sound is pretty bad unless the file size is quite large and doesn't allow me to do all the effects I want to do!

Cheers, Asa

I like the 'swan-ident' (I like birds, I think that's the reason)

By the way, I've found the font with the extra bold '2'

I'm just interested in how you use masks and arrange your layers - i've bought Flash , and i'm still getting to grips with it (the THREE manuals are HUGE!!!) Thanks Asa.
