Get SWFX now

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 Which type of plugins are the Supreme 4 effects?
A: All effects are Flash 4 type. Read more about how to use these below

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 can i get more help about using wildform
A: At Wildform's website www.wildform.com you can find several tutorials and help.

Q: How big is the ZIP file i will receive?
A: It's 238 kb. Be sure your email can receive it, if not, let me know and i'll send it in seperate emails.

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: When I import the from SWFX generated swf file into my main movie it does not work, why?
A: Almost certenly the .swf file is a 'flash 4 effect'. See more info at question below and above.

Q: How do i use '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 it at the Wildform site

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.

Q: How can I change the background of the effect to my own Background?
A: You'll have to do that in your main .fla flash file (in which you either import or 'load' the SWFX generated swf's), this can not be done in SWFX itself.

Q: How can add sound/music?
A: You'll have to do that in your main .fla flash file (in which you either import or 'load' the SWFX generated swf's), this can not be done in SWFX itself.
