Swish is an enormously grand way to include flash effects to your site. It
includes making small movies run without Macromedia Flash plug-ins. Swish stands
for Simple Web Indexing System for Humans. With it you can easily index directories
of files and search the generated indexes. When you do a search, it’s the
swish program that is doing the actual searching. Swish objective is to fill
the need of Web administrators on the Internet.
Swish is easy to use and simple. You can do many things such as stemming or
searching for different versions of a word or the use of synonyms. With it,
you can do most of the things that full-featured indexers and search programs
can. In indexing HTML files, swish can ignore data in tags and give higher relevance
to information in header and title tags. In one pass, it can automatically search
your whole Web Site, if it’s under one directory. Index files consist of
only one file this is the reason why they can easily be transported.
The most powerful Flash creation tool is the Swishmax. It has 230 new effects
a Javascript-like scripting language and support for dynamic content and input
forms. It is perfect for interactive Flash presentations.
The new Swishvideo allows you to convert your video files into streaming Flash
files. With it you can easily display your videos with play controls and playback
settings. You can also import your AVI, QuickTime, MPEG or Windows Media videos
into Swishvideo. After that, you can select your videos compression quality,
key frame intervals, deblocking and smoothing settings. The play controls are
already made available for easy access. The control is complete with play, pause,
stop, forward and rewind buttons. Not only that, you can also create your own
custom controls in any Flash authoring tool and import them into Swishvideo.
To export settings, select an SWF or FLV and adjust your video’s border
width, scaling, background color, start and end states.
Another swish craze is the Swishpix. It allows you to create flashy photo albums.
You just select your photos, add themes, music, callouts or clipart and viola
– an animated photo album! You can also publish your output as a screensaver,
burn to CD or upload to your website. Here you can also combine multiple movies
and define the playing order as well as play back options and control your movie’s
size and window state. To display your movie, select the context menu items
and about box.
