File | Samples
The Samples Menu contains a list of sample .swi Movies to illustrate some of the potential of SWiSHmax.
The following examples are included in the Samples folder and many more samples are available at http://www.swishzone.com/movies.php.
Snakes.swi
This example was produced by Roger Onslow to illustrate the many Effect variations possible using the Snake Effect in SWiSHmax. A study of the settings used in each of these variations will assist you in understanding what they do. It also includes, as a bonus, Scenes which demonstrate a Radarscope Effect and a Spotlight Effect produced with a masked Sprite and three vector objects.
Pseudo3D.swi
This example, produced by Dawn Barrie, also shows some variations on the Snake Effect, but uses the gradient fill properties of vector objects to show how a pseudo 3D Effect can be produced. It also demonstrates an Explode Effect applied to a 'sheet of glass' (a group of vector shapes).
Ray of Light.swi
This example was also produced by Dawn Barrie, to illustrate the use of vector shapes and gradient fills to produce the Effect of light beaming out from, and sweeping across, the letters of a word.
Spritedemo.swi
This example was produced by David Petley to illustrate the use of masked Sprites. An inspection will show the use of Sprites within Sprites.
Actions.swi, Buttons.swi, First.swi
The Actions, Buttons and First samples are used in the tutorials.
Three other examples from SWiSH v1.5 are also included. They illustrate some basic techniques.
Promo.swi
The demonstrates how Text Effects, including Squeeze, Scale and Wave, are simply and effectively applied.
Preloader.swi
This is a basic preloader. SWiSHmax provides more preload options, but this shows the basics.
Menu.swi
This example shows how easy it can be to apply Mouse Events to Text Objects and, although this only shows the getURL Action, there are many other Actions that can be applied.
