Xara Xtreme offers one of the easiest ways to create really efficient Flash animations.
Flash animations use vector graphics. Unfortunately existing Flash tools have a reputation for being unintuitive,
difficult to master and over complex. As a result Flash has been restricted to those willing to dedicate substantial
time to mastering these tools. On the other hand, the Xtreme drawing tools have the reputation of being extremely easy to
learn and slick. So now we bring the ease of Xtreme to Flash animations.
Xtreme Flash animation doesn't use complex time-lines. Instead it's more like traditional animator's art, where you produce
snap-shots or key frames of your animations at points in time. Xtreme automatically produces in-between frames to create
smooth, really compact Flash animations.
Note: Xtreme Flash animation does not support complex advanced features such as scripting, sound or embedded movies. Instead
it's Flash animation for the rest of us, perfect for creating banner ads, text and photo effects like the examples below.
