KoolMoves and Swift-Generator

[evolbeagle]

I was doing a search on whether these two can work together and I found this quote from Bob from a while back:

"I am working on the ability to create .swt files which will then make KoolMoves interesting as a front end to a number of generator tools. It will open a whole new market for the product."

What is the status of whether KoolMoves and Swift-Generator can be used together to create dynamic flash content?

Right now when I need some sort of changing text or whatever, I use a non-flash approach like php and mysql. But there have been a few times when it would have been really nice to be able to do it in KoolMoves.

I have been in touch with Olivier Debon and Jorge Diogo at Blue Pacific. I very much want to create swt files and have made some progess but more work is needed. That capability will be part of the pro version. I have too many irons in the fire!

I know that feeling. Just don't let us greedy KoolMoves users drive you nuts with our constant feature requests. :)

I saw in the Free Updates thread where you haven't decided on a price for the Pro version yet. Do you have an approximate release date in mind yet? It sounds like it might be July, to coincide with the no-more-free-updates deadline. Is that right?

[Bob Hartzell]

The July cutoff date for free upgrades was somewhat arbitrary. I pushed out the date far enough so I don't have to think about it for a while.

I estimate the pro version release for March or April. The first release will contain bones and drop shadows at the minimum.
