Publisher's description of SWiSH Max

From SWiSHzone.com:

SWiSH Max has everything you need to create stunning fully interactive Flash animations. You can create shapes, text, buttons, movie clips, and motion paths. You can also include more than 230 ready-to-use animated effects including explode, vortex, 3D spin, and wave. You can create your own effects or make an interactive movie by adding actions to objects. A scripting language allows you to program sophisticated operations into your animations. You can preview your animation inside SWiSH Max without launching a browser or external player, and live editing lets you make changes while the animation is playing. SWiSH Max 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.

Version 2 now offers support for components, a content library and assets, a new effects browser, in place text editing, video/image/sound effects as well as an improved interface for the script editor, drawing tools, and the internal player.

• "SWiSH Max"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: SWiSH Max 2

Penny-pinching Flash designers rejoice! This full-fledged Flash studio has a plethora of features, a straightforward work flow, and a knockout price. SWiSHmax's wealth of easy-to-use features let you design stunning animations in no time. The program also features its own scripting language, SWiSHscript, which you can use to create Web menus. You also can design Web forms. We found the interface clear and handy. The time line makes it easy to overlay and edit multiple layers of text, sprites, and images. The program can export SWF animations into AVI and Flash Projector formats. Our one major complaint is that the 15-day trial isn't enough time to evaluate such a complex tool. Powerful and quite easy to master, SWiSHmax is indispensable for folks who design banners and menus for Web sites. If you're looking for a low-cost alternative to Macromedia's $700 Flash Professional, you've come to the right place.

  "Please, send me a message. I have almost the main problem of SHiSH Max 2."

  by dalkoset on February 16, 2008

  Pros: Object translations, graphics, work great! lol

  Cons: Adding frames (That is the most important of this program!) :(

  Let me explain my story of waiting with Windows Live Hotmail which finished poorly:

  I can't sign up to SHiSH Max's communication to resolve my problem.

  So, I try to search "How to make a flash movie" in YouTube, I add my comment about of my problem which is supposed to be in SHiSH Max home page and I wait ONE WEEK, but it never responded.

  I try to search again "How to make a flash movie" in anothers sites as MySpaceTV, but it's exactly the same thing.

  ***!! I am angry and tired to search more sites again !

  You know that I have sign up in more sites, I had efforts to do all that !

  Please, send me your message.

  It's really not a joke! My email is: tsdalkoset@hotmail.com

  If you make me feel confience, thank you very much! :)

  "Just get Flash."

  by J.o.n. on August 1, 2008

  Pros: This is ok, but not very good. If you are going to make animation, use flash. It does cost a lot more, but it is way better than this. Yes flash may be harder, but it is better.

  Cons: Didn't like it.
