Tools

I l @ ve RuBoard

There are many tools available that make working with Flash much easier. Some of them create three-dimensional artwork for use in Flash, others create dynamically generated Flash content, and still others make working with projectors incredibly easy.

Dynamic Flash Tools

These tools let you create dynamic Flash content. Some of them require a bit (sometimes a lot) of back-end expertise.

Projector Tools

Flash projectors let you take your content to the desktop. These tools, which are all Windows-based, can add awesome functionality to those projectors.

Sound-Creation Tools

These tools let you create your own music, using royalty-free loops as the base elements. Many of them output to MP3, which is great for importing into Flash.

If you'd like to add complex text effects to your Flash projects but don't want to spend lots of time actually creating them, these tools are just what you'll need. They can create very complex text animations in just minutes, and they output to .swf, which you can then import into Flash.
