Web Page Animation (Click to Demonstrate)
InfoFind Web Tools includes a number of functions to add animation to a web page. Many web sites use Flash or similar programs for animation but a problem with using Flash is that not all users have it installed and if they do it sometimes is not stable so it’s frequently turned off. HTML animation is generally harder to write and more limited but it allows for a wider audience. When creating web page animations an artist or developer has to weigh the benefits of each one. If you choose to go with HTML animation then InfoFind Web Tools can make animating a web page much easier to do because the functions are easy to call and it works with all major web browsers on all major operating systems. To see animation with InfoFind Web Tools click the examples to the left, and to see a support document on this topic click here.
