Load
external bitmap images such
as Jpg / Gif / Png files |
Every
slide can load any number
and type of images, and
using masking "in"
and "out" methods
for each single one to give
smooth transitions. You
can link each individual
picture or the whole slide
itself. You can also add
picture headers and description
text, basically offering
an internal image gallery
display option. |
Load external SWF
files |
If you
need to load external SWF
animations, no problem at
all. They'll always be played
from the first frame at
restart or replay. So there's
no need to worry about the
swf's internal timeline
being played automatically
after it's loaded but not
yet displayed. So you can
load any existing .swf without
having to edit its .fla
file. You also don't need
to place click links inside
the .swf, the banner can
link the loaded .swf file
to a web page (or internal
slide item) itself and handles
the click functionality. |
Load-create
Text Effects |
The banner
comes with a variety of
different external text
effects and more can be
added easily. As with the
common texts, you can also
add background areas to
the text-effects. By using
the <texteffectpreset>
node and "variationname"
attribute you can change
visual of the text effect
within seconds in dozens
of different ways. |
Create
texts with Background areas |
Both internal
.fla fonts for antialiased
text as well as stylesheet
defined CSS text can be
used, whichever you prefer.
You can add a background
area with rounded corners
or angled corners and with
borders. Both the text and
the background can be animated
individually (besides any
animation performed on it
as slide-item) and the text
can also have a masked area
through which it can appear
to pop in. |
Load
external FLV video files |
You can
load FLV video files and
add pause and progress controls
if you wish. It can be set
to play automatically or
by user click as well as
loop playback or stop at
the end. |
MP3
music for each Slide |
Each slide
can have it's own music
mp3 song accompanying the
animation. If multiple slides
use the same songs then
playback will continue without
any fading the volume in
or out, so you can smooth
the presentation audio from
slide to slide. |
Add
a banner menu. |
You can
have a banner menu being
displayed with buttons or
thumbnails and with option
to show slide description
tip-text. The menu can be
aligned left or right or
centered, either at the
top or at the bottom. You
can specify the maximum
display width of the buttons
and scrolling will be handled
automatically. The menu
offers different layout
options for background and
button styles and you can
add any of your own visual
liking. |
Content
at center |
Each slide-item
has the option to be centered
or positioned as left-top.
This way you can much faster
work with making xml changes
if the slide is set to animate
and scale or rotate to certain
visuals. |
Filters |
You can
add filters to ANY slide-item,
whether it be images or
texts or video or loaded
swfs. Including filters
are Blur, Glow, DropShadow
and Bevel. It's even possible
to specify the filter effects
at different points in the
slide-item animations, you
can define them for the
different phase-points of
the durations ("in","start","end"
and "out") |
Properties to animate
|
The included
properties you can animate
at different points of each
slide-items animation progress
include Scale/Size, Positions/Movement,
Alpha Transparency and Rotation |
Linking Slide-Items
|
Each slide-item
can be added a link. This
can be a web link (url)
or a specific 'slide' in
the presentation (just like
the menu buttons). You can
also set xml to make a complete
slide have a web link |
Masking
Slide-Items |
Any of
the slide-items can be masked
from a range of different
IN and OUT methods so you
can choose to make slide-items
appear and disappear in
many different ways |
