If you’ve never heard of Swishmax 2, you probably won’t have a use for this. Swishmax 2 is a versatile flash software comparable in many ways to Adobe Flash. In other ways there is no comparison, such as the price: Adobe Flash is much more expensive.
Swishmax 2 is a professional-type application that allows you to write script to control what happens on the screen. To help newbies and save time, they have provided lots of canned effects to be applied to text or objects.
Unfortunately, there is no way to preview the effects within the program without actually applying them. But inspired by a standard effects previewer that I saw posted in one of the forums, I have made a flash video of the effects to play when you hover over the buttons with your mouse. No click, just hover.
