All-into-One Flash Mixer Editor's Review

As stated in the title, All-into-One Flash Mixer is a handy utility designed to help you build Flash animations using other Flash objects.

Actually, you can create Flash animations using two or more Flash objects, adding text, adding background images (JPG, BMP, PNG, GIF,ICO, PCX) and music (MP3, WAV) from files. The program is extremely easy to use due to its wizard-like interface. The wizard (it can be disabled if necessary) will guide you through the entire process of creating a nice Flash animation.

Before starting a new project, you can choose the size, framerate, music and image background (when appropriate). Picture alignment, auto loop music and the option to show/hide the 'play/stop' button are also available.

You can spin a Flash object clockwise or counter-clockwise and you can also scale down or up objects. You can choose to switch the layers of the animation or edit it using the time line on the top of the window.

The projects can be previewed using the program's internal player and they can be saved in various formats such as: SWF, stand-alone executable files (EXE), HTML files or as ScreenSaver.

Pluses:

Drawbacks / flaws: The program is a little bit unstable, as it crashed a couple of times.

In conclusion: Since it appears to be unstable, I wouldn't rely on it, especially when I have to meet deadlines.
