edpaffjr.comI think I’m many years behind in saying this, but I’ve created my first flash animation. I’ve had Adobe ImageReady installed on my computer for a while, since it is installed with Photoshop, but I’ve never really used it. I’ll be honest and admit that I’m not that big of a fan of flash-based websites, especially with the increased use of mobile browsers and their lack of flash support, but I feel that it can be useful in moderation on websites. Anyway, to create a simple flash animation, I created individual slides in Photoshop and then transferred them into ImageReady and used the built-in Tween command to automatically transition between slides. The result is pretty smooth, and I was able to save the animation directly into flash from inside of ImageReady.

I found this and I use it a lot when I just want a simple slideshow of images. It is a lot easier to update because you can add in and or delete images at the top of your html page. It also isn’t flash, it just uses javascript. Take a look and you might like it. You won’t have to go back to your flash or imageready file each time you want to update the files.

Very nice! I’ll have to keep that in mind, as it seems to be pretty simple though customizable when needed. I’m not sure if I’ll try it with this graphic, but I might if any changes are needed. As getting the ImageReady file together wasn’t the easiest thing.
