Made to Order Software has started work on a new version of its SSWF
multimedia library, an Open Source C/C++ library used to create
professional Adobe Flash animation software. It already allowed
thousands to create Flash animations. The library will soon allow
our users to also load Flash files, which opens the door to creating
Flash players and other Flash tools without the need to handle all
the details of the complex Flash file format.
Made to Order Software started work on SSWF in 2002. At the time,
Macromedia owned the Flash technology and they forbid anyone from
creating Flash players without paying a hefty license fee.
In April 2005, Adobe (Nasdaq: ADBE) acquired Macromedia. In 2007,
after considerable pressure from all the large wireless companies
and other mobile device players, especially DoCoMo and Nokia,
Adobe released these rights. Now anyone can write their own Adobe
Flash player, free of any licensing fees. The news was made public
on May 1st, 2008. That is when the Open Screen Project was born.
Made to Order Software offers support and training to businesses
so they can quickly create software that delivers rich interactive
content.
SSWF supports most of the tags available in Flash version 9. It
includes an ActionScript compiler and a scripting language to quickly
learn about Adobe Flash animations. Don't hesitate to download SSWF
from SourceForge.net to give it a try!
