With SWF Cargo, desktop applications can be created from Flash files. This software allows users to transform their Flash files into standalone applications, making use of their existing skills in Flash.
SWF Cargo comes with a host of features that make it an excellent choice for creating highly interactive applications. One of the key features of this software is its ability to output 100% standalone projectors, which means that users do not need to have Flash installed on their computers to view your application.
Another feature worth mentioning is the ability to customize how your windows will look in your projectors. This means that you can create custom-shaped windows that match your branding or design requirements. Additionally, the software supports multiple windows, allowing you to create complex and rich applications quickly.
SWF Cargo also comes with a synchronous communication feature between your projectors and the operating system, provided you are using the Adobe Flash 8 authoring tool. With over 150 ActionScript commands available to communicate with the operating system through the SWF Cargo ActionScript API, there is virtually no limit to what you can achieve with this software.
Other key features include the ability to create trial projectors that expire after a specified date, export applications for both PowerPC and Intel Macs, and save your work as project files, which means you can modify your existing applications over time.
To use SWF Cargo, you need a PowerPC or Intel-based Macintosh running OS X 10.2 or higher, with at least 64 MB of RAM and 50 MB of available hard disk space. You also need the Adobe Flash 8 for scripting using the SWF Cargo ActionScript API.
One limitation of this software is that the output includes a watermark, which is not ideal for professional applications. However, if you can overlook this aspect, SWF Cargo is a powerful tool that provides a simple and efficient way to create desktop applications.
