FlaX

Making a proper first impression might someday make a difference. In the case of website, this can be obtained with animations created in specialized software. FlaX is a powerful application designed to create Flash text effects, offering a very intuitive interface to guide users throughout the whole process.

As said, the number one strong point is the interface, not necessarily because it makes everything so user-friendly, but also because it shows a real-time preview of the created text effect.

It all comes down to four different windows, the main one where you can view the text effect preview, “Movie Properties”, “Text Properties” and “Effects Properties”, each with its very own settings.

The “Movie Properties” dialog allows you to pick width, height, FPS, angle and background color, while the “Text Properties” options enables you to configure text position, font, size, script, colors and style.

Last but not least, you can select a new effect via the dedicated window, with options such as amount, speed, delay and direction. There are no less than 256 effects available, some of them including even a background sound.

FlaX enables you to export the created flash text effects as SWF, test them either in a player or in your default browser, create projector, set it as screensaver or save the project for further editing.

For those who want even more customization options, FlaX enables users to choose the background picture, be it a GIF, JPG or BMP, scale it to fit movie, insert a MP3 file or choose the shape of the project, with multiple options available, as follows: arc, arc lower and upper, bulge, squeeze, flag and rise.

As a conclusion, FlaX is one powerful software solution to deal with Flash text effects and since it does such a good job, it's really worth a try. It requires no previous experience to put all its features to good use and the provided result is sure to come in handy in nearly any project you are working on.
