1. |
What
are the Custom FX? |
| |
|
The
Custom FX Collection easily installs into Flair
and Wild FX Pro. It includes customizable versions
of the 400 effects that come standard with each
program, plus over 200 additional effects. Each
effect has at least 5 custom variables, including
speed control.
The effects can also be used as templates to create
new effects, which can be saved, so you can generate
new effects templates without requiring any animation
programming.

Do
the effects work in Adobe Flash or older versions of Macromedia Flash? |
| |
|
Yes, you can use all of the effects in Adobe Flash or older versions of Macromedia. You just use them in 2 different ways based on whether the effect is a standard effect or a dynamic or custom effect. You may directly import the standard effects output and you can bring the dynamic or custom effects output into Flash using LoadMovie Actionscript. The standard effects and the dynamic or custom effects have different colors in the Wild FX menu-list to help you differentiate between them. |

When
I import the Wild FX generated swf file into my
main movie it does not work, why? |
| |
|
You
can't import a Flash 4 effect into Macromedia Flash.
You can use the LoadMovie action. You can also
get our software, Linx, which can import any Wild
FX effect (and any SWF, image or audio file). It
is a great way to combine Wild FX effects and to
add images and audio. |

How
do I use the Flash 4 effects with Macromedia Flash? |
| |
|
You
can directly import the Flash 3 effects into Macromedia
Flash. To use the Flash 4 effects you need to use
the Load Movie actionscript. The Load Movie example
is explained in this Preloader Tutorial which also
has a zip file you can download and adjust to your
needs. For additional information on how to use
the Load Movie in Flash, please visit our tutorials
page. |

How
can I change the background of the effect? |
| |
|
Wild
FX has the ability to add any image file as a background
to your effect. You can also do that in Macromedia
Flash or in our software, Linx, which can import
any Wild FX effect (and any SWF, image or audio
file). It is a great way to combine Wild FX animated
text effects and to add images and audio. |
