KoolMoves in a software that enables you to create Flash animations in just a few steps.
The program has a clean and intuitive interface, so you shouldn't have any problems getting around its features. It can be used by both novices and expert individuals.
You can use basic tools such as select or move objects or points, add a regular or dynamic text, import images and SWF files, as well as create an empty movie clip or button.
But you can also convert selected objects to a movie clip or button, draw a line point by point, draw standard shapes, add or delete a point or curve to the shape boundary.
Furthermore, you can fill with solid color, gradient or image, scale, rotate, flip, slant, squish, perspective, as well as add various effects (e.g. fade, size, spin, rotate, drop shadow).
Moreover, you can edit a frame in Action Script, add actions and sounds, zoom in and out, reposition the movie frame, view a timeline and storyboard, change the object depth, break text apart, increase the movie length, change its speed, width and height, preview it in the web browser, and more.
The application uses a moderate amount of system resources, includes a comprehensive help file with images and interactive tutorials, supports several languages and didn't freeze, crash or pop up errors during our tests. We strongly recommend KoolMoves to all users who are interested in web design, especially Flash development.
Limitations:
· Save function is disabled
· Nag screen
What's New in This Release:
· Added ability to export Html5 using CreateJS open source javascript library (File > Export Settings, select CreateJS), allowing movie clip export and in the future preloading, gradient color, and filters.
· Added Html5 export of button sounds (mouse down for original Html5 export, mouse down and rollover for CreateJS export).
· Made a code change that should dramatically reduce video card memory usage tied to OpenGL rendering (but difficult to test if it actually makes a difference).
· Fixed file parsing so in the future older versions of KoolMoves will have a chance of opening a file created with a more recent version.
· Fixed morphing problem with Html5 export -- when first occurrence of an object is not in the first frame.
· Fixed play wav sound from GUI by turning off functionality.
· Fixed display problem with Flash 8 components associated with new compiler upgrade.
