Some time ago, I was in need of editing some Flash SWF files, but couldn't afford a license for the whole software, and didn't even need it, so I started looking for a free software download. Instead of that, I found something even better - Sothink SWF Quicker, a good priced and fully featured tool that helped me get started really quick, so I solved all my problems and never looked back!

"The installation of Sothink SWF Quicker is easy and intuitive, you can place the program files where you want them. There is a small thing that Sothink products do that I appreciate, they don't assume that you want Desktop and Quick Launch icons they ask. Plus Sothink products allow you the ability to put their products under the Start Menu Programs that you prefer.

When you first start Sothink Quicker you are informed it is a 30 day evaluation product. More than fair.

Then you are led into a Wizard type Window that if you desire you can turn off at startup. It has in it these choices, blank document, album, banner, navigation buttons, and slide show.

I first tried out the navigation buttons option. You are first given the choice a whole bunch of really neat buttons to base yours on. I created three buttons with of course different text and leading to three different URLs in about 30 seconds. When I was done I was told that my next step was to do File/Publish. When I did that I was given three choices: Export Flash movie (*.swf), Insert Flash movie (*.swf) to HTML file, View or copy HTML code. This is Great Stuff! I hope that you realize that I made 3 professional buttons and was able to then do professional things with them in less time than it takes me to type this!

Next I tried out the banner tool. Same results professional looking banners in no time at all. After that I did a Flash photo album, same deal great templates, easy to use professional results in no time at all.

Then it was the time to try making a Flash Slide Show. Add the photos, select from a number of transition effects, pick the size, the background, select from different Play Controls, select a starting image, enable and select navigation buttons. Bang Your Done! It is really hard to believe that you now do stuff like this so easy.

In conclusion if you are looking for software that does the above things and you don't right now go and try out Sothink SWF Quicker you are a complete idiot. This is GREAT SOFTWARE.

Try It! Buy It!"

"While Sothink SWF Quicker certainly offers fewer features than Macromedia Flash, it is nevertheless a professional tool. The interface, with its timeline and customizable instrument panels, is standard for animation programs. Sothink SWF Quicker uses layers, symbols (reusable components of your movie stored in the library), and instances of symbols. The program imports SWF, JPEG, and BMP files. The editing tools include pen, various shapes, and Bezier curves. There are also a few special effects, such as fade, move, and spread. You can insert action scripts to create interactive animations. The program's capabilities suit it for intermediate-level users and professionals more than beginners." More Info>>

"Is there an easier and cheaper alternative? Yes! Sothink has released version 1.5 of their Flash movie builder called SWF Quicker... Sothink SWF Quicker 1.5 has a price tag of $49, a fraction of the cost for the full blown Macromedia Flash MX 2004. Granted, Sothink's offering does not have all the advanced features that Flash MX does, but to build a Flash movie, SWF Quicker 1.5 cannot be beat... it is still a very powerful Flash building tool incorporating the ActionScript scripting language and maintaining features such as motion tween, movie clip and button creation, and mask layering. While Macromedia Flash MX 2004 is geared towards the advanced Flash user, Sothink SWF Quicker 1.5 is designed more for the beginner and intermediate user. But any professional Flash creator would find SWF Quicker an excellent Flash creation tool. " Read the full review>>

 "By developing what can only be described as a low cost, cut down version of flash that allows even novices to design some pretty spectacular effects. Sothink ( SWF Quicker ) have, I believe, hit upon a product aimed perfectly at the beginner to intermediate flash user, a product that allows users to take advantage of many aspects of flash without the actual steep learning curve or cost associated with Macromedia Flash MX 2004"...

"An absolutely marvelous program with an unbelievable price tag.  My decision to review this program very quickly became quite a remarkable journey into the world of Flash Animation and Movies.
     My past experience working with graphics found me working with Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro and GoLive for animations.  SWF Quicker has forever revolutionized how I shall create graphics and animations in the future.
     From the moment you open the program and are greeted with the "New From Template" wizard for making flash buttons, a photo album, a banner or a blank document you're hooked.
     Clicking on the various wizards will bring up a screen of many for you to select from and then quickly transport you through the process until magically you're finished and have just created something in minutes that could've taken you hours.  Below is a screen shot of the program when first opened with the template wizard greeting you.

"Indeed, I will describe the reason in few words.
  1. Its IDE is amazingly full of features which are lacking in other flash tools.
  2. Its ActionScript Editor is outstanding, much more better than Flash MX, because it acts more like Visual Basic Editor.
  3. Its most valuable feature is that it does not let your work get lost. Because you can import your swf if your source is lost.
  4. For me it is treasure, because I will convert all of my valuable source through importing my own swf files into it and work with its brilliant A. S. Editor (especially my UI Collection Objects).
  5. Its windows system can so easily be manipulated, and a newbie can arrange the IDE according to his/her needs.
  6. Of course it is also a cost effective product.
  7. Its features are not less than any other flash tool especially in importing external resources/graphics file formats. It allows importing almost all kin of frequently used file formats.
   8. I will be converting many of my games (that I sell) to this software because I have a huge potential in new future (which will be a financial benefit as well). I am a businessman as well, so I will get thousands of my shop templates, and many other products converted to this software.
  9. Time is money and this software saves a lot of time comparing to Flash MX (not only while designing or scripting but the application load time i in seconds). If I compare this big application with Photoshop in APPLICATION LOAD TIME then I can say it loads in 5% of the total time Photoshop takes to load, and 10% of Flash MX.
  10. The success of a new product is if it has instant support forums, and Quicker has one to learn to teach and to share our useful resources with ones who belong to same category. 11. Its action Editor provides not only eases to find out required script but provides a quick tip/help via a tooltip (that is great)."

    "For those requiring a more budget conscious alternative to Flash, Sothink's SWF Quicker provides a viable alternative. It allows developers the ability to quickly and easily author professional Flash movies including all the goodies we've come to know and expect, such as rich format text editing, movie clip and button creation, general or guided motion tween, mask layer, stream and event sounds. Realizing that many designers begin their creations in other programs, SWF Quicker allows the import of many popular vector formats such as AI, SVG and WMF/EMF, so you aren't restricted to using the drawing tools supplied with the program..."

Testimonials

I'd just like to thank you for the new SWF Quicker. It's getting better and better. I use Flash professionally, but I'd recommend SWF Quicker to anybody, from home to small office user. I think it's the ideal tool for students to make their first steps in producing Flash animations. Once again, thank you for this free update and keep up the good work!

But, don't just take our word about SWF Quicker.  Here's what some of our users from around the world have to say about our versatile Flash Maker:

I must say that I like the Glanda & Quicker programs a lot. They make Flash creation straightforward and fun.

--BLUE GEN

"Out of all of the 24 flash building tools I use, your product is the best way to create and edit flash products. I also enjoy being able to 'Catch' flash items and be able to see how the author has created the flash item. So that I can get ideas for flash designs. When I used the Trial version of SWF Quicker for 2 days, I decided to pay for a registered version."

--Ryan J Fuller

"I love swf quicker. The interface is so simple that anyone can pick it up in a few minutes. The tool tips pop-up to resolve any questions before I even ask them. The simplified structure really taught me a lot about how to use the ACTUAL Macromedia Flash. The fact that java scripts can be used gives it near limitless uses and I like the way the floating menu's are arranged. Even though you can't do nearly as much with swf quicker as you can with macromedia flash, you CAN do all the things that Flash was meant to do... and you can do them quickly and easily. I really like this program!"

--Kenny T

"Functionality and price alone blow away all competitors. You guys seem to have found the Holy Grail of Flash tools. Importing swf's and being able to edit the ActionScript alone has been one of the biggest attractions to fellow students in the multimedia course I'm taking ( I showed them the demo and have had several awe-struck looks from them when grabbing a swf from the web and opening it in Quicker )."
