Features
Design for Flash output intuitively - export QuarkXPress projects in SWF (Flash) file format. Design for Flash output intuitively and precisely without writing a single line of code or being tied to timelines.
Design simultaneously for multiple channels. Create print, web, and interactive layouts within the same QuarkXPress project. The same designer in the same project can create the flier, the web site, and the Flash ad.Bring layouts to life without having to master timelines, ActionScript functions, or other complex features. Use the familiar design and layout tools in QuarkXPress 7 for print, including transparency, composition zones, and in-the-layout image editing.Assign predefined actions to objects. Choose from a list of over a hundred predefined actions, such as page transitions, button clicks, and features for playing media files and building menus. Dedicate features for buttons, animations, and embedded movies.Place buttons, animations, and embedded movies inside a QuarkXPress project ensuring interactive elements within the final creation match the original concept.Create buttons with built-in design behaviors. For example, the built-in features define how a button displays when you click it down. With Quark Interactive Designer, it's easy to create self-contained buttons you can share. These buttons work similarly to library items, but they stay editable.Enable collaboration on projects by employing the composition zones feature in QuarkXPress 7. Quark Interactive Designer is the only Flash-creation application with built-in collaboration features.Design and integrate Flash and HTML content in an interactive layout using the composition zones technology inside a web page (HTML). Use the synchronized content without first exporting it as a SWF file and then re-importing. One or more Quark Interactive Designer users can design the HTML page and its embedded SWF file in the same application using the Quark composition zones technology. At export, the complete page is ready to post with a single click.Provides simple, palette-based scripting and expressions support so the user can rapidly build interactivity and more sophisticated expressions.Embed or link out of QuickTime movies, audio files, and Flash video (FLV) files. Quark Interactive Designer can call files in response to user input or the outcome of rules built into the layout.Enables designers to animate an object simply by drawing a path on screen or incorporating a predefined animation. Quark Interactive Designer includes animation objects that can be used to build reusable animations with frame-by-frame control. Draw a path on the screen to animate an object.Build interactive buttons and menus enabled through keyboard commands, and user input. This true interactivity provides control over interactive designs.Export files as SWF Flash files or stand-alone projector applications for Mac OS or Windows. Multiple export formats for cross-platform production ensure that the exported files are viewable by the intended audience.Related X-Ray Magazine Articles:PhotoZoom Pro 2: Maximizing Resolution, Click Here to Read Online It's time for a move: Quark Interactive Designer, Click Here to Read Online Manufacturer: Quark, Inc.
