Flash Text Effects plugins are used directly
in .fla files (Macromedia Flash MX / Flash MX Professional
2004 / Flash 8). Mega Pack Components contain over 1000 predefined
text effect variations. Mega Pack Components can be used by
users of any skill-level, offering use from basic drag&drop
to stage to advanced use like text loaded sidewide from database.
All effects in this new Version have more customization parameters.
Several new features and options are implemented, including
five different effect start-directions, basic text alignment,
automatic positioning on stage and dynamic input. In the upgrade,
of the 50+ effect templates most effects contain a list of
predefined variations. All of them offer a quick preview to
see settings and avoid having to play long .fla timelines
to see the result.
For experienced users custom modifications can quickly be
done, like adding a simple bevel, creating sequential triggering
of effects, use of attachMovie to dynamically place effects
at runtime and loading text by PHP from database for site-wide
use in thousands of pages tree-deep independent. Mega Pack
Components also contains multi charcter feature. Single text
effects can be customized to override font color and font
type for specific letters, making it possible to mix any font
and color for any range of characters in a single text effect.
