SWF, Lock & Load - Preloader Creator 1.208

I don’t know about you, but I am not a big fan on steep learning curves. When I start to use an application, I like to be able to pick up the basics rapidly; I like to be able to use that application without much of a hassle and without having to constantly check the help file. Luckily, this is not the case with the Vertical Moon-developed application SWF, Lock & Load. Using this application is a fairly straightforward process.

Speaking of using SWF, Lock & Load, one question comes to mind: what does this application do? To put it bluntly, this easy to use application is meant to help you create Flash animated preloaders. To get a better idea of what SWF, Lock & Load can do for you, here is a quick look at its features:

- Save the output file as a Flash .SWF file. Save project files and come back to them later on.
- Comes bundled with more than a hundred graphical preloader templates.
- Preload your SWF files externally, or merge in the Preloader to create a single file.
- You can create “Smart Preloaders” that take the user’s connection speed in consideration to provide smooth playback.
- Custom feedback messages can be added.

Before you go get SWF, Lock & Load and put it to the test, take a look at the technical details presented below:
