In this tutorial, we will explain how you can create a simple SWF step-by-step.
- Start SWF Image Creator from Start > Programs > XYZSoftware > SWF Image Creator > SWF Image Creator or by double-clicking on the SWF Image Creator shortcut on the desktop.
The application starts with a new project by default, unless you open an .imx file, SWF Creator Image project file. In addition, a new, unsaved project is named as "untitled.imx".
- Now to start with, we should add images to our project. There are several ways to add an image.
- You can select Edit > Add Image(s) from Menu Bar.

- You can click on Add button from Toolbar.

- Or simply, you can press <"F5"> button from keyboard.
A dialog box appears, where you can add multiple images into the project. Click "Open" button after you select images.
- When selected images are added to the project, you can change order of these images.

Now, drag and drop images to change their order. Also, by double clicking an image you can see its general information in Image Info Panel.
- Next step we need to deal with, is arranging project options.
- Click on Action Type and select "All Gifs in 1 SWF".

- Rename the output SWF file to be generated as you wish.
> 
- If you want, change the background color for your SWF file by double clicking on colored line.
> 
- In Frame Options you can set frame and linkage information. At this time do not change these values, we will be dealing with them later.

- Now we are ready to generate our first SWF. To create SWF you can:
- You can select Run > Start Conversion from Menu Bar.

- You can click on Run from Toolbar.

- Or simply, you can press <"F9"> button from keyboard.
- When convertion is completed successfully, "Output Logs" panel is updated. When you double-click an item on the panel the generated swf will be played.

- If the animation of the generated SWF movie is slow, or you want to change linkage information, you can easily change "Frame Options" and then start conversion again until you are satisfied with the output.
- Now save this project for future. Click on File > Save As from Menu Bar.
Or, click Save from Toolbar.
Or simply click <"CTRL+S"> from keyboard.
By completing this tutorial, you have learnt how you can create a SWF with SWF Image Creator and save a project.
