ScreenweaverMX : RIP
Screenweaver MX: Rest in Peace.
The note on the door says “closed” — actually it says “Support on the Screenweaver (3/MX) product has been discontinued. It is no longer available for download or for sale.“.
I used Screenweaver quite a bit a few years back when making some desktop Flash games for the company I worked for at the time. Screenweaver had a nice API (no fscommand) and it seemed like their product had a good amount of momentum behind it. It may have been coincidence but after FlashMX2004 came out, things started to go downhill. I remember checking their forums not long afterwards and reading problems with creating executables using Flash player v7 and company support seemed to taper off.
I wish the guys from Rubberduck all the best. It was a really good product when I used it.
Zinc v2 by MDM seems like they are still doing well, so I guess I’ll check their demo soon.

I saw that too last week, when revisiting there after ages of no news, really too bad.. but the Screenweaver logo is reused for another winows app I forgot the name of.
Well, now that Adobe bought MM, maybe Flash too will RIP soon..?
