Screenweaver goes open source

[Jason3d]

This is a little old but I just noticed I haddn't seen anything posted here about it.

From the site:

Screenweaver extends the traditional Macromedia Flash player capabilities. It provides you with a tool set to produce rich client desktop applications. The target audience are Flash MX 2004 / 8 developers and Win32 programmers.

* Screenweaver comes with easy to use Wizards and a full fledged Editor with massive capabilities.

* Screenweaver provides a Programming Interface which is directly accessible from ActionScript enabling the developer to control the way the application interacts with the user and the operating system during runtime. No more 'fscommand' hassle.

* Screenweaver provides many ready made Flash Components, you can start building flash enabled desktop applications quickly.

* Using the SWF Monitor, Screenweaver tightly integrates with the Flash authoring environment, enabling fast and easy development and bug fixing. (The Monitor is not present in current release)

* The Screenweaver interface itself is a powerful testimony of the use of Flash as a rich desktop client. We used Screenweaver to build Screenweaver.

I just spent some time with Screenweaver Open Source. Very nice stuff. This is really a boon for the Flash community. If you are creating PC projectors (.exe files) from your movies you really owe it to yourself to try this out.
