SWF Studio 2.0 is now available as a public beta from www.northcode.com/beta/v2/index.html. Be sure to check out the release notes to find out what's new. Here's a preview of what you can expect...

OCX version control allows you to choose which version of the Flash plugin you want distributed with your projector/screensaver without clobbering the version that your user has installed.

Built-in install technology means you can package all your files in a single EXE and install them on the users machine. Complete with desktop or start menu shortcuts and an uninstaller.

You can use loadMovie, loadVariables etc. just like you do in regular Flash projectors. No more special fixes required to load external files (SWF, TXT, XML, ...) into your projector.

You get full control over the system tray icon. Change the tooltip, animate the system tray icon and make balloon tips appear!

Passwword protect your projectors and set up trial periods to protect your work from unauthorized use.

The HTTP plugin allows you to perform HTTP and HTTPS operations with control over the data transfer buffer size (for progress reporting), the actual HTTP/S header fields, use proxy servers, supply basic authentication information, download text or binary files, work with non standard port numbers, impersonate any user agent/browser, work the CGI results in ANY format, and MORE!

The CATALOG plugin provides a lightweight search engine for data lookup and retrieval. Search a 50,000 record database and pull back the results in a second or less! Works with simple CSV files so there are no special drivers required and nothing to install.

We've also made a number of usability changes, fixed some outstanding bugs, and we're not done yet. The huge list of changes in the release notes at www.northcode.com/beta/v2/relnotes.html are only what we're ready to show you today. There will be much more to see as the beta trial progresses. Check back often for updates.

If you buy SWF Studio v1 today, you will get it for $99US and you will be automatically upgraded to v2 at the end of the beta. If you already own v1 and you pre-purchase your upgrade, you will get it for $34.90US. Once the beta period is over, everything goes back to regular pricing ($139 for v2 and $49 for the upgrade). Buy now and you'll save almost 29%!

Vector Vj™ 1.0 Professional is a Commercial Visual Public Performance System. The system consists of a hardware Human Interface Device tightly integrated with the Vector Vj Visual Performance Engine software. The System can be licensed for exhibition at public and private performances and events.

The Vector Vj System was designed to be used and enjoyed by anyone interested in the spontaneous composition of audio, video, still and moving images.

Born out of necessity and desire for a kind of “visual swiss army knife” that just did not exist, the team at Meltdown Studios set out to create one of our own, the result of our efforts is Vector Vj 1.0 Professional. Designed from the ground up by and for visual performance artists; our aim is clear: to provide visual pioneers with a solid system for unrestricted exploration and experimentation in the audio visual realms.

At the core of this system is a specialized set of utilities, which allow the artist Independent and precise control over the properties of each media layer. This includes X position, Y position, Zoom/Scale, Red, Green, Blue, Alpha Level, Latitude, Longitude and Rotation. Having this level of fine grain control over each layer of your composition provides you with a staggering number of possibilities and permutations.

If you can imagine each of the above described sliders as an instrument in a “Visual Symphony” then perhaps the following feature can best be described as the conductor of the instruments in that Visual Symphony.

The Motion Lab is a one of a kind motion synthesis and automation laboratory. The Motion Lab controls Automation and functionality can be likened to that of the flying-faders found on audio mixing consoles in high-end recording studios.

With the Motion Lab you have the ability to apply Sinusoidal, Square and Saw Tooth – Wave based Automation. This Automation can be applied to each and or all of the sliders for each and or all Active Layers independently! It is essentially like having 48 extra sets of arms and hands to mix with, that lock into the beat and never get tired.

Because of the efficient way Vector Vj handles these permutations, you will have the freedom to rapidly explore, enhance, and leverage your new and existing media in ways you never imagined. By performing this on the fly recycling of your media, Vector Vj can substantially improve your overall media mileage.

With Vector Vj’s palette of real-time manipulation tools, interesting and beautiful visual compositions can be quickly constructed and delivered to your audience up to five levels deep, depending on system health, performance, ram and available processor cycles.

Softanics announces the release of TFlashPlayerControl to help developers make better use of Flash technology in their applications

Softanics today announced the release of TFlashPlayerControl, the latest version of an innovative Delphi component to make better use of Flash technology in multimedia applications. With its simplicity of code, high compatibility with Borland Delphi and TStream support, the utility is a perfect solution for developers who want to implement Flash technology in their projects.

TFlashPlayerControl offers developers many benefits while creating games, multimedia applications, etc. With TStream support, the component allows seamlessly instilling flash movies into applications and then loading them from any TStream descendant including TResourceStream or TMemoryStream while Flash Player ActiveX loads flash files only from local folders or URL. Besides, as the user launches an application the component simultaneously starts loading swflash.ocx/flash.ocx codes right from a stream, for example, TResourceStream or TFileStream. Thanks to this distinctive feature, the user can play flash movies without even having Flash Player ActiveX installed on the system. TFlashPlayerControl utilization prevents flash movies from being stolen as now they can be encrypted and placed inside the application resources.

“Using Flash animations in Delphi applications has become really easy with TFlashPlayerControl” said Andrew Ross, head programmer at P&S Data Systems. According to Mr. Ross “We have used the component for an e-learning project for a large customer with great results. It was essential to be able to distribute the application as a single exe file which will work even if Flash is not installed on the system. TFlashPlayerControl works flawlessly on all the systems we have tested. Thank you for a great product and excellent support!”

The demo version of TFlashPlayerControl component, hosting all registered version features, can be downloaded on-line at

SWF Studio V3 is a professional quality replacement for the stand-alone projector that comes with Macromedia Flash, but SWF Studio allows you to do a lot more than just wrap your SWF in an executable. SWF Studio allows you to leverage your knowledge of Macromedia Flash or your favorite Flash authoring tool to create powerful rich media desktop applications and screensavers.

The driving philosophy behind every aspect of this release of SWF Studio has been to provide you with a tool that will let you work smarter, instead of harder. SWF Studio V3 delivers an unprecedented amount of power into the hands of Flash developers but makes it easy to use with an extensive help system that's integrated into the Flash authoring environment. The attention to even the smallest details, like using the same shortcut key as Flash to publish, make V3 a real joy to use.

We've included hundreds of fixes and improvements requested by our users and added an impressive list of ground-breaking new features that you won't find anywhere else. The full list of new changes would take hours to read, so we've compiled a summary of what's new in SWF Studio V3. Sorry, it's still a huge list.

The Flash OCX issues that plagued old versions of SWF Studio, and still affect some of our competitors, have been resolved in V3. Every V3 application is a 100% stand-alone, zero-install executable. That means you don't have to install anything to use them, they just work. The applications you create with SWF Studio V3 will run on all of the desktop Windows operating systems including Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

Our license from Macromedia to use their Flash player technology ensures that the applications you create with SWF Studio V3 are 100% legitimate. Finally, an swf2exe tool with no legal issues and no deployment issues to worry about. Power and peace of mind in one package.

We don't like software with trial periods that expire just as you're becoming comfortable with them so SWF Studio V3 has an unlimited trial period. All of the applications and screensavers you create with the trial version of SWF Studio will only work for one day after they are first run. Except for that small difference the trial version of SWF Studio is fully functional.

Download SWF Studio V3 and then visit our online store to buy V3 today and save hundreds of dollars on the most advanced swf2exe development tool available. Our introductory offers won't be repeated or extended and it all ends August 15th, 2005.

I just posted in the News section of the board that Screenweaver, a SWF2EXE app has just become Open Source.

Screenweaver provides developers all of the tools required to build full-fledged, full-featured desktop applications and Screensavers using Flash and their favorite programming language. Extend your skillset to exciting new uses of Flash technology.

This tool is similar to ZincV2, SWFStudio, etc. but now OPENSOURCE!

Official web:
http://www.vanrijkom.org/

Direct download of binaries: Here

When you double click on an FLA file it opens the last version of Flash that you used instead of the version of Flash that was used to create the FLA. If you have multiple versions of Flash installed, every click to open an FLA file is like rolling the dice. If you lose you get the "Unexpected file format" message, which really means "open me in the right version of Flash please".

http://board.flashkit.com/board/imag.../2005/10/1.gif

If the last version of Flash you had open was MX 2004 and you double click on a version 6 (Flash MX) FLA file it will open, but it can take a looong time and then you still have to close Flash MX 2004 and reopen the FLA in Flash MX so you can edit it without making a mess of the FLA.

Admittedly the amount of time lost isn't huge, but it sure is annoying and life would be so much easier if the FLA was just opened in the right version of Flash. Well, I finally got fed up and created a utility that will do this... the Flash Version Checker and Launcher or FLAver for short.

When you install FLAver it hijacks the FLA format from Flash and associates all FLA files with FLAver.exe so when you double click on an FLA file it is opened by FLAver first. FLAver doesn't actually open the FLA file for editing, it just looks that the version of the FLA file and at the versions of Flash you have installed and chooses the closest version match for the FLA file. If you try to open an FLA file and you don't have a version of Flash that can open those FLA files FLAVer will present you with an error message like the one below, otherwise the FLA just opens in Flash and you can go on about your business.

What is SnazzyFM™
A final year project by Iwani Khalid. An online radio that runs on FLASH PLAYER 6 and above. Users need not use an external media player to stream radio, open up 2-3 different browser windows to request songs, make dedication and interact with other listeners. All of that can be done in the ONE SINGLE FLASH APPLICATION that they only have to download ONCE and run it anytime from their PC given that they're connected to the Internet

SnazzyFM™ is still undergoing its final development stages and requires a BETA TEST before completing its development process. Some features may or may not work fully but this is to briefly give users an idea of what Snazzy FM™ is. This BETA TEST requires users to try the application out and then, users' evaluation are compiled in a Text/Audio/Video guestbook OR a traditional survey based on its graphical aspects, user experience, technical and a few other criteria that would be a great reference for me to complete SnazzyFM™

Added in this release

Added support for generating Windows 7 compatible applications.

Updated the Flash player bundled with SWF Studio to version 10.0.45.2 (flash10e.ocx) from version 10.0.12.36.

Updated Sysinfo.getOSVersionInfo to support Windows 7.

Added Splash.setPosition and Splash.setVisible to provide additional control of splash screens.

Shell.setNotify now supports two new events: onShellExecuteWaitForWindow and onShellExecuteWaitForExit which allow you to receive both events from a single call to Shell.execute instead of using the mutually exclusive waitForWindow and waitForExit flags on the call to Shell.execute.

Browser.setNotify now supports the onWindowClosing event to notify you when the current page attempts to close the browser window using JavaScript. The Browser class does not permit the window to be closed, but now you are notified when the attempt is made in case you want to take some action

Added onMouseButton to Browser.setNotify to allow detection of mouse clicks over an embedded browser window. One limitation of this event is that it can only catch mouse down/press events, not the up/release events.

Added Browser.setUserAgent to allow the application to control the UserAgent sent to the server with each URL request.

Added Browser.getHWND to return the window handle of the embedded browser.

Added Scratch.writeFile and Scratch.readFile to support adding large files (anything over 10MB) to the Scratch area, and later extracting them to disk.

Added support for sending and receiving binary data to the UDP plugin (version 23) and the TCP plugin (version 22).

Added support for binding to a specific local IP address to the UDP plugin (version 24).

Added Mouse.setCapture, Mouse.releaseCapture and Mouse.getCapture to allow Flash to receive mouse events when the mouse is outside the bounds of the application window.

Added SysTools.createGUID to create universally unique ids.

Added new Sentry commands to build and manage an application white list to make the Sentry commands more useful. Sentry.buildWhiteList, Sentry.addToWhiteList, &nbsp;Sentry.removeFromWhiteList, and Sentry.clearWhiteList. Added Sentry.useWatchList and Sentry.useWhiteList to select the mode in which the Sentry works. Added Sentry.getWhiteList and Sentry.getWatchList to make list management easier.

Added ssGlobals.ssOriginalWorkingDir so you can get the working directory that was inherited from the process that started your application, or the working directory that was assigned to your application (if it was started by a call to the CreateProcess API).

Added onSystemCommand to App.setNotify to allow you to block or implement custom actions for the move, minimize, maximize and restore system commands.

Added a setTimeout method to the HTTP plugin (version 42) to provide control over how long the HTTP plugin waits before generating a timeout error on certain events.

Added SysTools.getWindowCaption to allow you to find your own window caption. You can also get the caption for any window you have a handle (HWND) for.

Added SysInfo.getAdaptersInfo to return information about the installed network adapters inclduing IP addresses linked to each adapter.

Added a timeout parameter to App.sendData to prevent calls from blocking if the destination application is hung or not responding.

Tray.setNotify now supports an onTrayBalloonClosed event to let you determine how a tray balloon was closed. Possible reasons are a click on the balloon, clicking the close button, balloon tip timeout or forced close resulting from a call to Tray.hideBalloon.

Added a new parameter to App.setKioskMode called skipRegMods which tell SWF Studio not to attempt to modify the registry as part of enabling kiosk mode as this causes a UAC prompt on Vista and Windows 7 if the user doesn't have administrator privileges.

Added the forceShow parameter to App.showMsgBox to allow a message box to be displayed even when the main application window is not visible.

Updated HTTP.start with a new optional parameter that allows you to bypass IE proxy settings and make direct connections.

Added ssGlobals.ssFlashHWND to return the window handle of the Flash OCX for the main application.

Changed in this release

Modified how FSCommand EXEC works so legacy Flash applications don't have to move their files out of the fscommand folder. The fscommand folder is not necessary when you make yoru EXE with SWF Studio but if you can't change your code, SWF Studio will do the right thing so your EXEC calls will just work.

Removed xstub.exe and xpatch.exe (for ActiveMark support) from the installation. Because of the way these EXE files work, some antivirus software was flagging them as potentially dangerous even though they are not. If you need support for ActiveMark, please contact us and we'll provide you with the necessary files.

ssCore.Shell.execute now captures the standard error (stderr) stream along with the standard output (stdout) stream when using the saveStdOut flag for all applications so it's no longer necessary to use command line redirection to capture the stderr stream.

SWF Studio now completely removes user registration details when the software is uninstalled.

The size of some EXE files has changed since the last release. Standalone EXE files were 3.6MB in 3.7 and are 4.2MB in 3.8. Compact EXE files were 2.7MB in 3.7 and are 3.2MB in 3.8. Tiny EXE files were 1.2MB in 3.7 and are 1.2MB in 3.8. Unbundled EXE files were 1.8MB in 3.7 and are 4.2MB in 3.8.

Revolutionary features completely upend the presentation paradigm. With Impression Studio, presenters can quickly author, edit, and publish engaging and compelling presentations. Moreover, presenters are freed from spending time selecting which lame effect, which stale transition, and which mismatched font to use from their current slide-based presentation software. Impression Studio themes are truly that – cohesive and comprehensive themes designed by professional graphic designers. With Impression Studio, presenters are left to focus on their message and the story they want to tell.

Impression Designer
Impression accomplishes this feat by utilizing the rich media power of Adobe Flash and Impression Designer. As a Flash developer, leveraging your design and Flash ActionScript 2.0 skills into the Impression Software Suite is exceedingly intuitive and simple. In addition, Impression Designer opens up numerous new revenue opportunities for you:

• You can now offer your clients custom rich media presentation solutions that will neither break the bank for them, nor become a nuisance for you.
• As a value added reseller of Impression Studio, you have the opportunity to earn extra revenue by selling Impression Studio directly to your clients.
• You can create semi-custom themes for sale to Impression Studio users who can’t afford to commission a custom theme, plus provide them with customization services.

Impression Designer includes a full-featured version of Impression Studio so you can quickly and easily test your themes and create your own presentations to advertise your services.

Please, take a moment to visit our website at www.mediaconnexus.com. Impression is so revolutionary, it truly must be seen to be believed. We have a number of sample presentations (http://mediaconnexus.com/impressionstudio.html) as well as a great many short video tutorials (http://mediaconnexus.com/impressionstudiotutorials.html) to introduce the Impression Presentation Platform. We offer free evaluation versions of both Impression Studio and Impression Designer. In addition, we’re offering both at special introductory rates.

If you said yes to the recent Creators Update to Windows 10 or you have been getting Windows Insider builds, then you already know that it caused problems with SWF Studio applications.

Starting with Windows 10 build 17127, SWF Studio applications just stopped working!

According to the debug logs, SWF Studio applications were not able to find the virtual registry entries for the embedded Flash OCX and the EXE was forced to bail during startup.

A change in Windows 10 that affected our registry virtualization turned out to be the culprit.

The problem has been resolved and tested and we're getting ready to release the fix.

If you're a registered user and you want to try the fix today, just send an email to [email protected] and ask for it!
