You're now competing against programs that have these tools built in and/or programs that are specifically dedicated to this kind of style of animating.
Also with Blender getting updated constantly and people building open source tools for free?
I'd love to see some actualy discussions and use cases from you as a company on these tools, as this site is catering to quite independant and usually niche animators who can't always afford the base software let alone paid addons.

Many people still use Flash 8 or various versions of Flash CS. EDAP Tools add unimaginable functionality to these older versions of Flash.
All features with the exception of SMR IK are included in the standard free version of the package.
For those who use Flash for free, the free EDAPT provides pro-grade FK rigging and posing tools.
For the ones who have no difficulty to pay the corporations' subscriptions, there is an option to actually have real working pro-grade IK.

Okay, that's great. I'm becoming more and more sold on the idea. I look forward to testing the tools out when I get some free time!

There is a bit of a learning curve, but we provide a lot of documentation and sample files.
This may be a good place to get directions how to start with Smart Magnet Rigs.
Have fun!
Im not sure how to ask this, but ill try
Only one big question i have:
THose jount are compatible for animating characters which turning around from side to another, without much drawing every positions?
Im struggle hard with frame by frame animation for turning around characters and i wish to use this for turning with les hand drawing
Not a good NSFW artist, not a good programmer, but a very good meat beater

Generally speaking, in Flash you achieve that by having some animation inside your symbols and playing it in sync with the transformations and tweening of those same symbols on the outside.
How you organise that animation inside depends on the design, but the '2.5 D' effect is usually achieved by a combination of shape tweens and classic tweens + sometimes some frame-by-frame, which all combined give a sense of 3-dimensionality and richness of movement.
Here is one such example:
You should spend some time to learn how to work with nested timelines.
