This is just a little update on some of the recent additions
to the formatpixel editor and player...

-| Editing Objects, WYSIWYG!
Object editing has been improved and now allow's you not only to move objects
to the front or back of a page, but also step through the layers one at a time
all in real time!

-| Filter-tastic
Other additions to the editor is a new Glow filter which can be applied to text
and shape objects. The shape object also supports the drop shadow filter.

-| YouTube support enhanced
Once imported, YouTube videos now display alot quicker than before utilising the
static YouTube thumbnails.

-| Formatpixel player
And finally, the FP player now supports all these new features in the beta
editor. You can start publishing and sharing your new projects saved in the new editor.

little complex and overly simple. nowhere NEAR the usability of a Google Docs or Zimbra or Zoho.
