Frequently Asked Questions |

|
What is Flash? |
|
|
||
Flash™ was developed by Macromedia to make it possible to have high impact web sites, alive with animations, sounds, interactive interfaces, and powerful graphics. Flash utilizes a very compact vector graphic format, so web sites with Flash animation download quickly. Flash has a huge market penetration, making it an ideal choice for your web site needs. Most web browsers contain Flash players which play Flash movies contained in HTML documents. Most high-end web sites use Flash animation. For more information about Flash, go to www.Macromedia.com or www.FlashKit.com. |

How does KoolMoves differ from other products that create Macromedia Flash™ movies? |
|
|
||
KoolMoves takes an approach to Flash™ movie creation that is in tune with the animation process, because it was designed by a professional animator. It is a mature animation package with ease of use and power as guiding principles. To make animations in KoolMoves all you do is draw or import shapes or images and then reposition, reshape, and recolor the animation objects in adjacent key frames to achieve the look you want. KoolMoves automatically morphs shapes in between each of the shapes you create to achieve smooth animated motion. It's like putting together a cartoon strip. Each frame contains text, images, shapes, sounds, and actions. The functionality services a broad set of animation needs: flying logos, text effects, character animation, color gradient and transparency effects, etc. KoolMoves makes it easy to create a Flash movie. All you need is an idea. |
