Flash and Flash - Toufee a startup for what was Flash
It feels like everybody got the same idea the same time to start doing some Flash based startups. It just keeps coming.
Now it’s the Toufee. Still remember the days spending hours to create Flash banner using Flash Studio? Later there were list of tools to help doing that in minutes. I still have some of them installed, Mix-FX, Anim-Fx and Flash tools from Amara. Toufee does exactly those local tools do but online and free. I did the Flex888 banner above in two minutes with Toufee.
To be honest with you, Toufee UI sucks! It’s very bad. Hey, it works and free. See for yourself. Please notice the cut off of fonts everything. That’s not me, it’s their UI.
Come on, Toufee, you can do better.

Hello moxie,
Thanks for the great insightful post! We just started getting feedback and I promise you we will
take care of these little details within this week.
And oh my god.. is that UI really cut off in your browser? We checked this in mozilla, IE and opera
and it was working okay but wow, because that does need to be corrected right now.
We are just two guys working full time on this but I promise you we will improve this stuff
based and on everything we get to hear from everyone.
Anyway, i just wanted to drop you a line and say thanks for the insights.
Best Regards,
Sanchit.
Yes, UI get cut off in my browser. I use FireFox 1.5.0.7 and Flash 9. Also, when I try to upload a image file, the addImage.pl source code displayed in browser in return. Regardless, it’s a very promising tool. Love it.
Hello,
Yes, it did look weird in mozilla.. how did we ever miss that? :/ Anyway, its fixed now.. The UI should look okay without the cuts and burns. Also just to update we’re adding some skins to the User Interface and hiring a pro-designer to get the design done.
Thanks again guys for pointing us to this bug. We owe you one. Any other suggestions, critiques are very much welcome.
Best Regards,
Sanchit.
ok, since you guys were one of the first to review us and point out the mozilla bug that i want to update you that we’ve revamped
the user interface. We couldn’t get a designer to do it for some technical reasons,
but i think it should be better now. Your input is always appreciated. thanks!
Best Regards,
Sanchit.
Hi_ I’m running behind the power curve, apparently. But I have not been able to figure out in Toufee how to delete and/or projects (movies. I have Toufee and during practice and fam exercies I started and then abandonded several “My Movie” projects. So that now when I go to edit dialog box and chooose edit the drop down list contains several My Movie entries; and even the tutorials (I, II, and II) are on the list.
If you know and would tell me how to take out the extra stuff, I’d surely appreciate it.
And thanks. I like your site.
