Welcome to Sothink SWF Easy!

Sothink SWF Easy is an easy to use but powerful Flash authoring tool. No matter you are elementary or intermediate user, it’s an amazing tool for you to create wonderful and professional Flash animations in a quick and easy way.

Easy to use
To make animations, you can start from scratch or from one of the built-in templates. You can draw shape, create text, and import image, shape, sound, video, button, movie clip, even another Flash movie, and then reposition, reshape, or recolor them to achieve your needs via a few mouse clicks. Of course, you can also code any object with Action Script 2.0 to achieve more advanced function if you want. The optimized user interface, including the WYSIWYG design panel and the integrated preview makes the creation more intuitive.

Saving time
There are three kinds of pre-made templates (album, banner and navigation buttons) and various built-in resources in this product that make it more productive. With the templates, you can easily create professional Flash animations. They do a lot of complex works for you automatically, and this can save you much time and energy. The built-in resources, including miscellaneous interesting and useful images, shapes, buttons and movie clips, are specially designed for Sothink SWF Easy users. You can simply drag any one of them to the design window from the resource panel for reuse.

Fancy effects
Effect is another great feature included. You don’t need to write any action script or build frame motion since effect can make any element animated. There are many kinds of predefined effects, and you can apply one or more of them to the selected element just through several mouse clicks, then you’ll see what the fancy effect you’ve made.
