What is it ?


Swift-Generator is a Dynamic Flash™ Content generator. It aims at dynamically replacing texts, fonts, sounds, images and movie clips in either a Template file or a standard Flash™ file. It can also dynamically change action parameters in either frames or buttons.
This allows Webmasters to create dynamic content such as stock-exchange values, sport scoring, weather values, news tickers and the like. Swift-Generator only requires an authoring tool like Macromedia® Flash™ 4 or 5. Once a Flash™ file is created, Swift-Generator is able to handle it.
