SWiSH
v2

(W9x/Me/NT/2000/XP)

15-day trial

software/windows/multimed/swish/

SWiSH is a quick and easy way to create Flash animations for your Web site. SWiSH is particularly useful for creating great text effects, and you can also create shapes, buttons, sprites, and motion paths. There are more than 150 ready-to-use animated effects such as Explode, Vortex, 3D Spin and Wave. SWiSH exports the same SWF format used by Macromedia Flash, so most Web users will be able to see your animation without downloading a plug-in.

You can preview your animation inside SWiSH without launching a browser or external player, and live editing lets you make changes while the animation is playing. SWiSH creates all the files you need to upload to your Web server, or you can generate the HTML code to paste into an existing Web page.

Mac OS

NOTE: The Mac programs on this CD are mostly in archived 'HQX' (BinHex) files – they can be extracted with several applications, including Stuffit Expander (which is on the CD...). Clicking on the links below should set the process in motion. You may receive a message that the file cannot be loaded into Simple Text — if so, start Stuffit and then open the HQX file you want from within Stuffit.
