Macromedias Flash format is the technology of choice for design-intensive Web sites but Macromedia Flash the application is less popular. Just trying to create an animated banner with it reduces many first-time users to nervous wrecks. Thats where the first version of SWiSH came in, providing a beautifully simple alternative for producing eye-catching, text-only banners. The free upgrade to 1.5 added bitmap and sound control, but this latest version 2 is far more ambitious. It aims to be a real competitor to the full Flash program, easier to get to grips with and even better value.
The ambition is clear as soon as youve overcome the bizarre registration/copy protection scheme and loaded the program. Where SWiSH 1.x smacked of shareware with its two floating windows, SWiSH 2 gets the full-screen treatment. The central Layout window is where you create your drawing and its surrounded by an Outline palette down the left where you can select scenes and objects, a Timeline across the top where you manage animation and a tabbed docker down the right where you can access multiple tabbed panels for controlling objects, interactivity and export. Theres also new support for right-click context menus and you can customise toolbars and menus and set up keyboard shortcuts
