It combines the features of the popular Creative DW Image Show with the ability to add professional text effects to slides (similar to After Effects). The product is very customizable: the user can choose the duration of the transition effects, the slide motion start and end position, zoom and panning type for both images and texts.
Introduction
Sound adds another dimension to your movie and is a tool used to communicate emotion. Just take a look at some of the sites featured in Flashkit recently and see how each one makes you feel. In this tutorial we will be investigating how you can add sound to your movie which can play continually, free from the constraints of your timeline. Alternatively sounds
can be synchronised with your animation and interaction. For example a
popular method of employing sounds is on buttons where
sound is used to help indicate to your visitor that he/she has clicked it like in the example above.
The art of combining sounds applies very much to Flash. A poorly mixed
movie instantly lowers the quality of the movie the same way Billy Crystal
would if he was placed in the lead role of the next Terminator movie.
There are two types of sounds in Flash, stream sounds and event sounds.
Streaming sounds synchronise to the timeline and start playing when enough
data has been downloaded. This make it ideal for playing on a website.
An event sound is different insofar as it must completely download before
it starts playing. The sound must also be actively stopped.
