KoolMoves is a program that helps you create animated objects for your website. If you’re familiar with Flash MX, you will notice that KoolMoves has similar features.
The interface is easy to use, though it requires some technical knowledge. On the developer’s website you have access to a large number of resources and tutorials. You also have the possibility to choose from five styles of the interface, depending on your skill level.
To create animations, you need to draw or import images or shapes and then modify each frame by adding animation effects, then you can change their colors or size. From the Effects menu you will be able to choose different effects to apply to each shape. You are also able to create new effects using the “Action script” built-in language. The program automatically combines all these keyframes to create a smooth animation. The application also supports “Masking”, a technique used often by flash designers. You have the possibility to export your work in the .swf format.
KoolMoves also allows you to add sounds to every keyframe. The program supports MP3 and Wave formats. A sound file can be used multiple times throughout the flash movie, but you only have to define it once. It is important that you convert the sound file from stereo to mono before importing it to the movie in order to get small size flash objects.
Users can find detailed information about all the program features on the Help menu of the program.
The animated objects created with KoolMoves will give your website a fresh look.
