Keeps saying "Invalid zip file" ... I tried downloading it twice in case.

I think something might be up.

What browser are you using?

And what is the size of the zip file you downloaded?

Same problem here, I am using IE6 and the file was only 3KB which is suspect in itself

Download problems should be fixed now.

I'm a bit confused as to what an article is. thought there would be and explanation as to how it was done. Perhaps I'm missing something.

Nice idea using a fairly easy technique in BT. Thanks.

The question is where is the article? To me an article is something you read as in a newspaper or magazine. Al l I see is the anim that is very good but I expected an explanation of some sort. As I said I must have done something wrong. My first time on the forum.

How does one make use of this show (i.e. change the text) or any other text?

The names are stored in the file credits.xml. Open this file in Notepad to edit.

Make sure both layer 4 and layer 5 are pointing to the right XML file. You can set the path in the text box.

Here's the documentation for the XML files:

I figured out how to change the names but I can't seem to figure out how to change the functions or titles for the people.

Make sure both layer 4 and layer 5 are pointing to the same XML file. You can set the path in the text box.
