Aleo Flash Intro Banner Maker

Flash Intro and Banner Maker is a program with a pretty self-explanatory title: it allows you to create banners in Flash for your websites.

The interface of the tool is clean and intuitive. You can start a new project from template or scratch, as well as save it.

You can set the width, height, frame rate, shape (circle, rectangle or rounded corners rectangle) and radius. More importantly, you can preview results in a separate window.

But you can also add a border and choose its color and size, play a background sound from file (optionally enable to stop it after specified loop times) and add a sound controller (pick a color and position, display bars, a slider or text, enable to auto start sound).

Also, you can select the JPEG quality, generate a compressed Flash movie, stop it playing after a certain time and add a preloader to it.

You can choose an image or color for the background (solid or gradient color, transparent), add clipart and set its position, as well as apply background effects (e.g. cloud, firefly, rain, shining stars).

Plus, you can place text and images over the Flash movie, select a text effect (e.g. rotate and swing, zoom in, type writer), specify the text position (relative or absolute), enable to open a web page when the user clicks on the text, display as dynamic text, and more.

Flash Intro and Banner Maker also lets you enable the options to open a web page when the Flash clip stops or when the users clicks on it. Last but not least, you can copy the HTML code to clipboard and publish your clip as a Flash movie, GIF image or AVI video, and others.

The program uses a low amount of system resources, includes a well-written help file with snapshots and ran smoothly during our tests. We haven't encountered any problems.

To conclude, Flash Intro and Banner Maker is a great program that can help you create Flash clips and banners, and we strongly recommend it to all users, especially novices.
