SWX: SWF Data Format

Icon

SWX is the native data format for Adobe Flash. This blog is about all things SWX, SWX RPC, SWX PHP and the SWX APIs (Flickr, Twitter, etc.)

Supported platforms and technologies

Swx Supported Platforms

You can create and load SWX SWF files with any version of Flash (5+) as they are simply SWF files. As far as manually creating SWX files go, SWX is supported on Flash 5+.

SWX PHP, the current SWX RPC implementation that I'm working on, creates SWX files that are compatible with Flash 6+, Flash Lite 2.0 and Flash Lite 2.1. Currently, SWX PHP does not support Flash 9/AVM2 but it will eventually do so.

SWX AS, the SWX ActionScript library, compiles on Flash 7+ Flash 6+ and MTASC.

You can use SWX PHP currently to create applications that run on mobile phones (Flash Lite 2.0/2.1), the Nintenso Wii, Sony PS3, and devices like the Nokia N800 internet tablet and the Chumby.

You can also wrap SWX-based applications to create desktop versions using Adobe Air.
