Backlight intro performs high quality, realtime visuals with just a fraction of the size needed by a prerendered flv showing the same effect. Just edit a simple external xml configuration file to add your images / titles / soundtrack and set desidered timings. Assets don’t need to be fully loaded for playback to start as this intro behaves like an ordinary progressive video: * it buffers a small amount of data, then playback starts * remaining data is loaded in background while intro is running * in case of a slow connection, it can pause and resume playback once the buffer is filled again. Flash IDE is not required: only external assets are used for XML configuration, images, soundtrack and fonts. There’s no limit on intro duration or text/images, all timings are customizable and compensated to keep A/V sync.
