Q How do i install the plugins?
A: You just need to unzip them and extract them into your
PLUGINS folder called "effects" of your Wildform program folder
which by default is set to C:/Program files/SWFX/effects
Q: Can i change/modify the effects?
A: No, you can't modify the effects. If you need some specific
change for an effect, contact me by mail and I'll make a variation
a.s.a.time permits me. In the future SWFX might include predefined
variables (values) per effect so you can change widths / heights
/ scales / alpha's / colors / etc per effect. If it does, I intend
to launch a upgrade for the PJ and Supreme 4 collection. (If Wildform
indeed implements this, all effects can be made to include a 'yes/no'
to a text fade-out when effect is done and a timedelay of fade-out,
something which many people would like)

Q: How big is the ZIP file i will receive?

Q: Does it work on MAC?
A: Yes. So far there's been no problems reported from Mac-users.
Some Mac-users specificaly confirmed me that they are working
properly.
Q: Do the effects work in Flash 5?
A: Yes. The PJ collection - SWFX effects you use then like
any other swfx effect. They're divided in 2 types , namely.. flash
3 and flash 4 effects. This does not mean you can only use them
in Macromedia Flash 3
or 4... you can use all of them in Macromedia Flash 4 and 5. You
just use them in 2 different ways. The flash 3 effects and 4 effects
have different colors in the SWFX menu-list. exported .swf files
from flash 3 effects you can simply "Import" into your
main MM Flash .fla movie. Flash 4 exported .swf files from SWFX
you have to use with the Load Movie action in your main .fla (since
they contain actionscript you can not simply Import any flash-4
scripted movie into your main .fla file)
Q: How do i use the 'flash 4 effects'?
A: 'Flash 3 effect you can simply Import into your main movie
/ .fla file. To use the 'flash 4 effects' you need the Load Movie
actionscript. The Load
Movie example is explained on a special page which also
has a zip
file you can download and adjust to you needs
Since Macromedia Flash itself does not allow importing flash
4+ type .swf's, Wildform has developed the softare
which provides superfast solutions for implementing external
swf's into one main movie.
Purchase

Q: Why are the prices higher then the initial prices (GLS/PJ
collection)?
A: At several occasions I realised the PJ collection and the Generated
List Scroller were higly underpriced and decided with release
of the Supreme 4 collection the prices go up... not much, just
a tiny bit. However, with the introduction of the discount-packs
(see order page) you can still purchase for lower prices if you
buy several products at once.
