  • Ability to change size, transparency, background color (with transparency) for each overlayed item.
  • Smooth position, size, transparency changes.
  • Fade In/Fade Out effects.
  • Ability to pause/play flash animation.
  • Ability to pass the variables into Flash items (e.g. for ActiveScript control).

Flash Advantages

  • Vector-based Flash animation can be scaled to any resolution (up to 1080) without any degradation of quality.
