Installed and activated on Vista 32 Admin with no problem. The programme ran fast, but offers very limited features. Most downside is it does not support unicode text. I would not buy this, but if it is free, it may be good for children to play with.

Have tried it under 32bit vista home premium, as others have said it is very simple in capabilities, it’s designed to make non-clickable animations, in my opinion adding the facility to make any element clickable would be the next logical step. It has a basic design flaw that its work files are stored within its instalation folder and not in the per-user application data folder. This means that unless the program is run as an adminstrator the play button which writes out a preview swf and html page gets virtualised (in vista and above), but the spawned web browser does not look at the virtualised location but the original Program files based path! Also by using a browser to play the animation it runs headlong into the default sensible but annoying security policy of not playing Active content on the local machine. I am sure with some thought and imagination I could create some pleasing animations but I suspect I’d end up wanting to take the output and put it in one of the swf editors that have been given away previously to add links and tart it up a bit. This looks like a toe-dip into the swf production market, this 1.0 should be donateware later versions with more facilities plus a windows compliant folder usage layout and more comprehensive UI, help and samples is going to be more likely to be worth paying the asked price for.

Bring it back with many of the suggested changes and make your own webpage work properly. Then, I would definitely try it out.

I just tried to install the program, but when I go to run it, I get the following error message: “Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the items.”

What exactly does this mean? Anyone able to help? Thanks!

Quite surprising that no one has suggested any free Flash Softwares.

Well, for me their website is down, so I can’t even see all these problems that are described. If it weren’t for the fact that this seems like just the program I’ve been looking for, I’d pass because of what I’ve seen and heard about this app.

A charmingly simple and effective program which will remind you of the ’90s in Styling, but with two hiccups experienced.

1. the “Play” feature shows a background-only animation with Vector Objects. When combining Vector with Text or Picture Objects in an animation, it did Play well. It leaves one with a queezy-feeling for continued program-usage.

2. the Help is abysmal, and I’m betting written by a “tEcHy”? Please get a better writer/artist to create that so-very-important representation of…CAD-KAS

Don’t dare let DIS be your best-ever-work to offer the world, as it IS 2010, yes? More is expected, in many aspects, please. Improve, or…die, is the Reality.

#14: “… When trying to open the .fmo file to preview, all I get is a .htm file not found; after saving as a .swf file, I get the same thing — seems the program writes the swf script to insert into an html file, but NOT the html file itself. ALSO, cannot locate the saved .fmo or .swf files created in the file sub-directory, …”

If it helps, in XP Pro at the moment, Flash–Creator places playtemp.htm & playtemp.swf files in the program’s folder, which both play in the apps preview & by double clicking the playtemp.htm file. After saving as an swf [to a folder you select], I get the same thing, an htm + a swf file, & double clicking the htm file opens the swf animation in FireFox. As the simplest test possible I inserted a square, dragged the 2nd square across the program’s work area, & the result was a 210 byte swf file.
