Easy FlashMaker

As suggests by its name, Easy FlashMaker is an app designed to help you seamlessly create Flash animations (SWF) for your websites. It can be used by less experienced web designers.

The tool comes with a user-friendly interface and a standard layout. Easy FlashMaker lets you insert common objects into the frame; this includes rounded rectangles, circles, text and images.

Object properties can be configured when it comes to the size, position, radius, angle and transparency level.  Plus, you can fill shapes by using various styles (e.g. solid color, linear gradient), as well as select the colors and border sizes.

Customization options regarding the current frame revolve around the background color, delay time, frame borders (e.g. border inner style) and background gradient. Plus, you can change the total number of frames, size, background and website color, as well as background sound and URL link when it comes to the movie.

Easy FlashMaker lets you preview results before turning the project into a movie. Also, you can copy objects and frames, as well as save the project for further editing. The tool requires a moderate amount of system resources in order to create a SWF file in reasonable time.

It is very responsive and includes user documentation. We have not come across any problems throughout our testing; Easy FlashMaker did not freeze, crash or pop up error dialogs. The tool's features can be easily figured out, thanks to its intuitive layout.
