(Flash?bitmap format, static or animations) -? Flash is often on web sites, especially for animations.
Bitmap format lets you use all Xara 3D Maker features, including shadows.
(Flash?vector format, static or animations) ? the advantage of vector format is that you can scale up a
graphic without losing quality. However not all Xara 3D Maker features are supported by Flash vector
format. For the smallest file size select Display as Flash on the View
menu. This disables all unsupported features. Alternatively you can export unsupported features as
bitmaps within the vector file. The drawback is that you may lose quality when enlarging the graphic.
Flash vector files cannot include shadows.
