"Ulead saves Web designers and enthusiasts time by giving them two applications to help them create professional-looking, high-end Web effects that do not require Java coding knowledge," says Rachel Hess, product marketing manager at Ulead Systems. "Interactive Web animations and sophisticated menus give Web sites a polished look while keeping readers interested in the content."

Ulead Animation.Applet offers designers a way to let their reader interact with elements on a Web page. Interactive options include setting hyperlinks in an animation to help visitors navigate through a site or creating mouseover responses for various image and text elements.

Animation.Applet provides a simple tab-based interface with Compose and Preview modes so designers can quickly start creating slick animations and make changes as needed during the creation process. Exact timeline control allows designers to set animation duration as well as start and end points or infinite looping of an animation sequence.

Ulead Menu.Applet integrates professional quality slider and pop-up menus into new or existing Web projects using a simple tab-based interface with drag-and-drop control of items for fast creation of menus. Additionally, Menu.Applet provides an intuitive way to manage, organize and view menus and sub-menus.
