AnimaFlex was a graphics playback plugin that could play animations with a small file size, made with RubberWeb Composer, that could stretch and distort images. It could start playing animations before the whole file was downloaded and adjust to slower internet speeds. Despite its promises, RubberFlex itself had several other products, all exporting gifs, competing with their proprietary option, and even launched FlexToGif to convert Plugin files to gifs 2 days after the plugin. By the start of 1998, RubberWeb Composer ceased distribution, leaving AnimaFlex without an authoring program.
