Swish Max4 is the Flash software for creating movies simply and quickly.

It is widely used to make vector creations, dynamic HTML files, and platforms on different devices and locations. One of the advantages is that it can be adapted to other platforms.

You can also create movies, animations, and presentations.

It was created by Swishzone.com and distributed by themselves.

It is considered a more straightforward and less expensive version than other Adobe Flash design tools. There are certain things that Swish Max4 does not support, and Adobe's competition does, but it has several of the essential tools and is still fully functional.

The programming language that encrypts the program is a variation of ActionScript called Swish Script. It contains almost all the functionality of ActionScript 2.0.

But, as you will see below, this program is no longer helpful compared to others from Adobe. As I said, this program is intended to be cheaper and more straightforward than the competition. Now it no longer meets either of those two characteristics. Some programs allow you to edit from the browser, where you can do the basic things for free, and there are paid programs that will enable you to do it more simply.

As for the ability to do animations and vectors, if that's what you want, you need more complete programs. Working with animations is not done casually, as it is quite a lot of work. That's why this program will be of little use to you, plus it doesn't have several useful modern features.

This program is obsolete compared to others.

Below, we will tell you some of the features that this software has in every aspect of the interface:

Importing and exporting:

• It imports videos, sounds, and effects, as well as text. If you have already done a job that you can use and have something already done, you can reuse it.
• Import SWF files that are files produced by any other Flash application.
• Movies created with Swish Max4 can be imported into any Flash application.
• With advanced tools, you can compress your SWF files to make them light and airy.
• Exported HTML can also accept JavaScript, CSS, PHP, and more.
• Several options to export your SWF.
• You can choose various formats to export it to wherever you need it.

Multimedia and Effects:

• More than 350 pre-installed multimedia effects and simple browser effects.
• Pre-installed animations to create quickly using text, images, graphics, sounds, and videos.
• Effects can be applied to various objects.
• It can support various sound effects, songs, and all kinds of sounds. All this is handled effectively without crashing the system.
• You can choose from over 300 vector shapes and components, and you can also create your own in a customized way.
• A tool that allows you to choose the objects and place them in a simple and fast way.
• It has an advanced Flash tool to design complex graphics or animations—a complete design tool.
• You can have specific default templates and a panel for quick inclusion of what you have previously done in your new project.

User interface:

• The user-friendly interface allows you to edit all the animations, effects, frames, and objects from the timeline of each video or animation.
• You can open several documents simultaneously, making it easy to work with large projects.
• All movable panels are customizable, and you can hide or move them. The idea is that you are comfortable with the workspace.
• A simple and understandable interface allows you to have all the tools.
• You can preview all your work with SWISH Max4 and at different internet speeds.
• Delete and redo the panels you have already used.

The drawing tools:

• With the shape editor, you can modify shapes.
• With AutoShapes, you can use default shapes like squares, rectangles, and much more.
• You have several keyboard shortcuts to do your work much faster.
• Advanced drawing tools include lines, pencils, text, and more complex shapes such as rhombuses.
• You can type text directly and give specific attributes to each letter (size or font, among others).
• Alignment tools such as grids and guides.
• You can transform shapes as the animation progresses. You can also give curvatures and cut them in parts. Everything you can think of, you can do.
• You also have filters and blending effects with the background.

Conclusion:

Although it was an effective program in its time, it is underpowered compared to today's editors. If you want to look for something of quality, you could check out Adobe's programs.

Also, the use of Flash to make animations today is obsolete.

It is not the most effective way to perform the tasks that this program can achieve.
