Flash Eff2- New Media Design

For professionals who have dedicated hours and days and even months at a time on projects, this program FlashEff2 may be frowned upon. However, for the creative yet technically challenged, this program is a blessing!

When working on projects, it may be necessary to use scripting (otherwise writing code). Compared to writing html code, flash code isn't quite as complicated. On the other hand, writing code isn't the most exciting thing for the everyday visionary. In my opinion, there are two types of people; one person is very quick in thought and very creative, yet when it comes to hands-on technicalities, the fun stops. The other person is exceptional when it comes to dealing with small, meticulous details, and in this example: possesses patience and understanding of code writing.

I view myself as more of creative thinking type, and when it comes to hands-on code writing, I'm not as thrilled to be working on the project (even though it is essential for success). What FlashEff2 does is makes working on the "meticulous" aspects with ease, and puts the fun back into the project. I envision this program to welcome more aspiring flash animators and designers by providing a program that simplifies and shortens project completion.

What makes this even better is that you can download it for free!!! Definitely worth checking into, especially if your running a small operation with a large workload, this program could ideally give you the upper hand in the market place with increased production.

Here are some ways the program will help you:

FlashEff2 | Features

General features

High-Quality Patterns

Over 100 effect patterns, each of them enabling you to achieve a certain type of effects by tweaking its advanced settings.

Custom Tweening

Change tween type, easing equation, and duration.

Tweak Effects

Edit the settings of each pattern individually to create your desired effect from scratch. It takes a little to find the right settings, but it brings uniqueness to your animations.

Show/Hide Effects

FlashEff has been such a success so far mainly due to its high quality show/hide effects and to the ease of use that these transitions bring.

Text Effects

The main purpose of FlashEff is to improve the way text appears and looks within a Flash movie.

Partial Text Effects

Create show/hide effects on text only on specific or random groups, such as lines, words or even characters.

Symbol Effects

These effects treat the entire object (symbol or text) as a whole.

Filters

Apply static or animated (loop) filters on objects.

Button Mode

Introduced with FlashEff version 1, the Button mode was a real hit.

Button Commands

Once you created a button with the Button mode, you will need to assign it some actions - like following an URL, calling a function or going to a different frame - whenever it gets clicked. There is no coding involved, no event listeners to write whatsoever.
