CellSpark 2.0

The CellSpark animator was designed to be a tool that can help you create compact, ready-to-run multi-media animations for mobile phones without programming. The Java midlets created can render simple static images but their real power is to display an animated movie sequence of frames with various shapes, text, colors and images that appear, disappear and move. This can provide a much richer and more compelling user experience.

A CellSpark movie consists of any number of layers which contain any number of objects which can be lines, polygons, circles, rectangles, images etc. Associated with each layer there is a timeline. Each time can have an event such as:

• A layer is shown at a certain position
• A layer is hidden
• A layer moves and all its objects moves to a new position

The CellSpark editor allows WYSIWYG definition of layers. Once created a single button push will create the phones files ready for downloading.
