The guys over at Jumpeye have recently released an update to their exiting flash text effects component, TxEff. This is an update which targets improved performance, quality, and Flash integration. The great thing about TxEff is that it allows you to create quality effects and transitions with little effort and time and saving time is huge when dealing with multiple Flash projects. Learn more about TxEff2 below.
What is TxEff2?
TxEff2 is a Flash CS3/CS4 AS3 component created for easing the text animation process. TxEff2 is also a framework based on patterns, a large collection of classes, which enable cool show/hide and swap transitions on texts.
TxEff2 comes with cool new features
- Better architecture (based on the FlashEff engine)
- Improved performance (thanks to TweenLite)
- Lower file-size
- Seamless pattern import
- More patterns (100+)
- Filters (like reflection, glows, stripes)
- Compatible with FlashEff effects and patterns
- Cool new visual User Interface
- Swap through different texts (not only show & hide)
TxEff2 vs FlashEff
If you’ve ever heard of or used FlashEff before you might be asking yourself what is the difference. Well TxEff is based off of the FlashEff engine which takes advantage of the FlashEff Panel and FlashEff patterns, however, there are some limitations. While FlashEff allows you to apply the effects to MovieClips along with TextFields, TxEff2 is limited to just effects on TextFields. Here is a chart that compares the both TxEff2 and FlashEff.
