SWX
15 Dec 2008
Did you think that SWX — the native data format for the Flash Platform — was dead? Think again!
I just updated the SWX web site to Wordpress 2.7 and a new theme in advance of some exciting announcements that the SWX team is going to be making in the coming days.
The SWX contest winners have been announced.
Read all about it on the SWX blog.
The reports of SWX's death have been greatly exaggerated. Well, OK, the one report, that is.
I'm referring to the blog post by David Arno that asks Has Adobe just killed SWX?
David's post refers to the recent opening of the AMF format (good one, Adobe, and about time, I'd say) and the open source release of BlazeDS.
The 19 20 22 entries that we received for the SWX Contest have now been published on the SWX Contest page for public viewing.
Due to the manageable number of entries, we're going to forego the first round of public voting (although you are welcome to leave comments on the entries) and allow our outstanding panel of judges to pick the winners from the Web, API, and Mobile categories in a single round of voting.
I know a lot of your are anxiously awaiting the AVM2/Flash 9 version of SWX PHP so you can start using SWX RPC in your ActionScript 3 and Flex 2/3 projects. I want to update you on where we are on that front.
I'm excited to announce that we have three excellent developers who are currently involved in writing the Flash 9 assembler for SWX and I'd like to introduce you to them.
