ActiveSWF Overview

ActiveSWF is a powerful toolkit for web developers and Flash professionals who intend to generate dynamic Macromedia Flash content. It can be programmed to create Flash movies using XML for Flash movie description. ActiveSWF XML notation provides simple and obvious way for Flash content specification.

ActiveSWF allows to create professional Flash content on the fly obtaining XML data from any sources. ActiveSWF is based on the COM technology and can therefore be used from most modern programming languages for desktop and server side development.
