Selteco debuts Alligator Flash Designer 8

SCHAUMBURG, IL, Selteco today announced the release of the new version of Alligator Flash Designer 8 for Windows - an easy-to-use, professional-quality Flash creation software at an affordable price. With new enhancements like straming video and audio, Alligator is a compelling upgrade that simplifies the delivery of multimedia content over the web.

Alligator Flash Designer 8 is the essential web developer's tool for creating Flash animations. The product comes with a number of Website and banner templates and offers a complete range of advanced drawing and editing tools. Users can add texts, images, sounds, video, other Flash animations and compose an attractive, dynamic layout. The built-in preview browser displays the movie exactly as it will appear on the Web.

Alligator offers more than 130 animation effects and 3 animation modes - intro (how the item appears), motion (how the item moves or rotates) and outro (how the item disappears). Moving, stretching, fading, flashing and rotating are available in various combinations for each phase.

Alligator can capture screenshots and import graphics in the most popular formats - gif, jpeg, bmp, wmf, and animated gif. Images can be resized, rotated, cropped and taken off the background. Users can also import and animate thousands of SWF clipart files available in online Flash libraries.

Once the animation is completed, Alligator exports a SWF file and generates the HTML code necessary to publish the Flash movie online. Novice webmasters can export an example HTML page with their Flash file embedded or upload a complete website. Flash animations can play in opaque or in transparent mode over other Web page elements - the same way as Flash ads. The new version includes FTP client for uploading Flash content on the website.

Advanced designers can use ActionScript to build online Flash applications and create forms with editable text fields, checkboxes and radio buttons.

Suggested retail pricing is US$149.00 SRP for the downloadable version, US$159.00 SRP for the boxed version. An upgrade is available for users of previous versions.
