----SWiSHmax vs. SWiSH2----
SWiSHmax is a new addition to the SWiSHzone family of Flash™ authoring tools.
Here are a few of the major differences:
Scripting
· Advanced scripting capabilities through the use of SWiSHscript
· A new Script editor allows the advanced user to directly enter scripts
· A new 'Debug' Panel simplifies finding and fixing errors in your scripts
· Copy and paste your scripts across Objects, Sprites and Movies
· New Physics properties simplify gaming and other scripted movements
Effects
· Now bundled with over 230 built-in Effects
· The ability to author and distribute your own Effects
· All Effects can be added to multiple Objects at once
Drawing
· Complex Shape editing options have been added to make it easier to modify your shapes, add perspective, slice a section or break it into pieces
· New AutoShapes simplify adding and editing Complex Shapes like 3D cubes
· New guide, grid and advanced snapping options
· Alignment options to help align and organise your Movie's Objects
Text
· Input and Dynamic Text functions allow you to create input forms
· Text Objects now have more word-processor-style options including better spacing, margins and word-wrapping
· Option to use device fonts
Interface
· Objects, Frames and Effects can all be added, modified or deleted directly from the Timeline
· Managing all Objects used in your Movie is made simple with SWiSHmax's content management features. You can quickly see all Objects used in your Movie, delete unused Objects, import new Objects and define global settings
· New Templates allow you to add common features to your Movies
· Edit Sprites in place
Import & Export
· Enhanced image editing and compression settings. You can adjust brightness, contrast, hue and transparency and select compression and optimisation settings
· Vector shape optimization, similar to expensive third party flash optimisation tools. Allows vector shape optimization to be controlled from Movie level down to individual Objects
· Produce compressed SWF Movies, supported by the Flash 6 Player
· Sound files have enhanced controls and compression options
· Other transparent features have been added to reduce SWF file sizes, such as automatically removing Objects no longer visible or off-stage
· Frame Rate Synchronization can be used to accurately synchronize sounds and animation
· SWiSHmax supports importing more features of Movies produced in Macromedia Flash™ including commonly used Actions and clipping (mask) layers
· Export your SWF Movies as a Flash™ Projector executable
· Preview swf, swi and image files before importing.
And much much more....
