My top 5 Flash Slideshow Creators
This is a guest post by Miss Techie, a great tech blogger and a good friend of mine. Hope, you'll enjoy it!
When reviewing software, the most difficult is not to pin a label on something and remember that there is no good or bad software, there is software for different needs. So, today I want to list 5 different Flash Slideshow creators. Each of them is the best – for different purpose.
1) Easy inserting into other SWF files or Power Point presentations - FlashSlider
FlashSlider lets easy create slideshows in flash format while controlling and customizing every slideshow option. I like FlashSlider for the fact slideshows it makes are clear and perfect for further inserting into another files. Still, FlashSlider has such advanced features as adding preloader, background music, navigation controls, etc., and its library of flash transition effects is very extensive (more than 110 effects).
2) Easy embedding into website, MySpace, blog etc. – Photo Flash Maker + Go2Album
Sometimes I use online services to create web slideshows, but I still prefer desktop slideshow creators. Among them, to create flash slideshow for further embedding into a web page, I use Photo Flash Maker. It's an easy to use tool which allows publishing slideshows to the web hosting Go2Album directly from the program. After slideshow is uploaded to the web, it can be embedded to MySpace or Bebo profile, blog or any other website. Go2Album gives you URL of your SWF slideshow, HTML code to embed it to web page and, of course, free hosting.
3) 3D Flash effects – 3D Flash Slideshow Creator
Are you bothered with usual slideshows and their typical transition effects? Yes, sometimes I want something else too and use Aleo 3D Flash Slideshow Creator. 3D Carousels, Rollers, Scrollers – very nice and unusual 3D slideshow templates. The program also lets customize slideshow and publish it easily as an SWF and HTML.
4) Built in photo editing – SWiSH Pix
Among other great options of this slideshow creator, the one I like most of all is built in photo editing feature. SWiSH Pix lets rotate and crop photos, adjust brightness and contrast. Edit each photo directly from a slide preview – easy and quick. That's much easier to get perfect displaying when editing photo in a slideshow maker than when editing it with other editor and then inserting into a slideshow.
5) Cute templates and cliparts – InAlbum Deluxe
When I need a cute, sweet, funny, yummy, etc. slideshow, I always use InAlbum Deluxe. More than 100 extremely cute templates, each with its preset music theme, animated cliparts, morphing faces, applying sound effects to the recorded voice or using program sounds – InAlbum has everything to have fun creating a flash slideshow.
That's my top 5 Flash slideshow creators. Now it's your turn to choose.
Flash charts – what, when, why, where, how?
Creating flash charts for one of my previous posts - What was hot in IT World 2008 - gave me an idea to write about flash charts. I thinks their use is not so wide as they deserve. Flash charts are really great for visualizing whatever data. So, read my What When Why Where and How of flash charts.
What is a flash chart or flash graph?
Chart or graph is data represented in a pictorial form. Flash chart is usually created to be published to the web – that’s why it’s also called web chart. Web chart is data represented in a form of flash “movie” (.swf file) that allows not only representing data as a drawing but also adding various animation effects, interactivity and other functions. Swf file format is ideal for flash graphing because it’s intended to be small enough for publishing to the web and it allows graph animation.
When do you need to use flash charts or flash graphs?
When you have a large amount of numeric data to publish to the web, chart in flash is perfect for its representation. When you need to enhance your site with an eye candy and give some information at the same time, bright animated flash chart is exactly what you need. When your data is dynamic and should be changed from time to time, live flash chart is the best solution because it allows to change data without changing anything in your web page.
Why do you need flash chart or flash graph to represent your data?
Charts are comprehended by the reader over 80 times faster than data. Chart makes relationship between different parts of the data obvious from the first sight. Flash charts are colorful and eye-catching while data represented as a plain text or data table is rather boring. Flash chart attracts your visitors while text data frightens them off.
Where are flash charts or flash graphs used?
Flash graphs are used everywhere where statistical data needs to be represented in the most comprehensible way. For example, web charts are perfect for:
- financial reports and business monitoring;
- network monitoring;
- surveys, polls, elections results;
- scientific data;
- any statistical views.
It's impossible to outline the boundaries of using flash charts. They can be used for displaying anything from network traffic to fluctuation in air temperature, from stock prices to rate of population growth.
How to create and publish flash chart or flash graph?
To create flash graph without wasting time for coding, you need a special graph making software. Such a utility allows to make a graph without any programming skills and publish it to website with ease. Try Animated Chart software for chart making. This flash charting component will help you to create a flash chart of any type, customize every chart item with some mouse clicks, save chart as swf, html or image file and even create a real time web chart based on live data from any source. To publish your flash chart to a web page, you need only to upload swf to your server and paste html code into the code of your web page. Animated Chart generates web ready flash graphs and gives you both swf chart and html code to be inserted into your page. To learn more about the software, to see chart examples or to read tutorials and tips for making flash charts and graphs, visit Animated Chart website.
Happy chart making! :)
Flash MP3 Players features comparison
So, I've tested four flash sound players - available player skins, - available formats of result player file, - availability of "button" player configuration (ON\OFF only), - possibility of voice recording, - availability of using audio stream (e.g. online radio), - skin customization (what parameters of flash player design can be customized), - playback control (what options of tracks playback user can define).
Today I want to offer you a research on flash mp3 players for publishing to website. Actually, I did this research for myself when I needed to make a flash audio player for website. But I decided to share the results with the readers of my blog.
for website: Aleo FlashMP3 Player Builder, Fun SoundPlayer Maker, Flash WAmp, and SWiSH Jukebox. I've picked them up from the list of flash music players at download.com. I've examined the following parameters:
That's the results of my mini-research in short. I don't want to determine a leader – everyone has its own needs and has to choose software that would meet them the best. As you know from my previous posts, my choice was Fun SoundPlayer Maker – this flash player creator is perfect for me. I hope my table will help you to choose your perfect flash mp3 player. Try them now and choose the best! :)
