This page helps you create a stylish animation text effect of a text line. The letters are of fixed size and are displayed with a light flare. You can choose any color for the light flare as well as control the size and speed of the flare. Towards the end of the animation sequence, both the light flare and the text are stretched horizontally.

The flare effect can be controlled with several basic parameters such as the initial and ending flare width and height, the speed of appearance to customize the animation sequence for your design need. This effect is available with five high-quality commercial typefaces. It works best with bright color flare and text on a dark background.

This simple technique can be used to design the animated text portion of a logo design to attract viewer's attention to your message.

The image is originally designed at 400 by 200 pixels. If the image width and height are specified at this size, no scaling will occur. For best result, your supplied image should be cropped to the same dimension to avoid the scaling artifacts.

The Linux-based ActionScripting engine behind this page generates the graphic file in industry standard Flash swf format that is supported by most modern browsers, and is compatible to all Flash player versions.

All you need to do is to supply the text and choose an appropriate background, text and flare color setting. The final Flash file is generated including appropriate HTML codes with just one click. You do not need to know Flash or program its scripting language. You do not have to use any traditional desktop Flash tools to create this effect.

The parameters are self-explanatory. If you do not understand its meaning, change its value and see how it affects the text animation.
