Flash 7 support?

[mike6496]

Is there any news on Turbine being able to publish SWFs specifically for the Flash 7 Player using ActionScript 2?

I have a dire need for a solution that simply injects an XML string and some JPG files into a SWF much like Generator & JZOX could do in the past for Flash 5 and 6 SWFs. I don't need to dynamically generate the entire contents of the SWF, but would rather have a "template" like the old SWT files and change only the XML string and a few image files.

I can do this on my workstation using JSFL/JSAPI and the Flash IDE, but it looks like the only server side solution for this is Flex (!!$$!!).

Also, I need the SWFs produced as static files that can be downloaded. This could be accomplished with Generator by running it in "offline" mode so that the SWF was saved to a file rather than being sent directly to the browser.

Hello,

Turbine can compile Action Script 1. The Action Script 2 engine is not yet available.

I have a dire need for a solution that simply injects an XML string and some JPG files into a SWF much like Generator & JZOX could do in the past for Flash 5 and 6 SWFs. I don't need to dynamically generate the entire contents of the SWF, but would rather have a "template" like the old SWT files and change only the XML string and a few image files.

Turbine 7 also uses templates just like Generator & JZOX but it uses common .SWFs as templates since you no longer can generate .SWTs from the Flash editor. Apart from that, the process of dynamically generating SWFs from templates, injecting XML or images or video or sound or anything, is exactly the same of Generator or JZOX.

I can do this on my workstation using JSFL/JSAPI and the Flash IDE, but it looks like the only server side solution for this is Flex (!!$$!!).

You can do that with Turbine for much less.

Also, I need the SWFs produced as static files that can be downloaded. This could be accomplished with Generator by running it in "offline" mode so that the SWF was saved to a file rather than being sent directly to the browser.

The GenerateToFile Turbine method accomplishes that.
