Features include:
Professional Workflow
Xtivity uses a streamlined workflow to enable you to rapidly create interactive SWF projects. Using a simple layout style approach, you can draw content boxes and then populate the content box with your information.
Click and Get Interactivity
Xtivity lets you add interactivity to your project by clicking on an object such as a photo, and then clicking to apply actions to it. You can apply combinations of different actions to any object and control when and what triggers the action to start.
Drag-and-Drop Elements
Xtivity features drag-and-drop Components and Elements that give you instant functionality and interactivity. These pre-made objects let you add to your project to get immediate results. Customize the Component or Element with your own content and publish them live on the web.
Advanced Layer Management
Layers in Xtivity are built around a robust architecture that allows you to reorder, clone, group and ungroup and transfer attributes from one layer to another to speed up project development. As you click on each layer the corresponding object on the layout will show active blue handles around it.
Grouping and Clipping
Xtivity layers let you group objects together to both apply actions to the entire group and to organize the content. Groups can clip an object or can be set to non-clipping mode. You can create a clipping area that gives you complete control over what is shown and hidden by moving items into the clipped area during either runtime or author time.
Content Management
Keeping your content organized is critical when you are working on larger projects. Xtivity features an integrated database driven content management system that archives and stores a copy of all imported graphics, SWF, sounds and videos that you bring into your project. The Document Contents panel provides a preview and information about the content you have imported.
Robust Text Editor
Adding and editing text in Xtivity is a snap. The full-featured text editor allows you to stylize your text with full color, multiple fonts and sizes, tabs, bullets and more. You can import and export your work from the text editor, conduct find-and-replace operations, spell check and can even import Microsoft Word formatted text and the styles applied in Word are retained in Xtivity.
Streaming Audio and Video
Xtivity lets you import and generate highly-optimized streaming audio and video SWF files. Audio and Video files are externalized and stream into your project as the viewer needs them. Pre-buffering controls and bandwidth settings help you establish the right streaming method for your target audience.
Library Graphics
Xtivity ships with over 1000 pre-made graphics. Drag any of these graphics into your project and then customized them as desired. Many of the graphics will automatically tile and resize without loosing any quality as they are created to be dynamic.
Transfer Attributes
Xtivity allows you to copy and transfer attributes from one object to another. This allows you to setup the interactivity how you like it on one object and then quickly apply it to an unlimited number of other objects in your project. This feature is very useful for making navigational systems such as menus and lists.
Creative Imaging Actions
Xtivity includes powerful imaging actions that can work at runtime to change images to-and-from the effect state. You can apply a sepia-tone effect to images when they are rolled-over with the mouse, or add black-and-white transitions to change the image to-and-from color.
Instant Transitions
Transitions are a great way to show and hide objects in Xtivity. Using transitions you can reveal or hide all or part of an object. Controls allow you to stop the transition partially so that only a percentage of the objects is hidden or revealed. Transitions work on videos, SWF, photos, text, color and group boxes.
