SWX: SWF Data Format

SWX is the native data format for Flash. Data is stored as SWF bytecode (you can't get more native than that on the Flash Platform) that is interpreted by the Flash Player. The SWX format is a subset of the SWF format (just like JSON is a subset of JavaScript).

SWX is open. I am in the process of writing an Internet Draft (I-D) for SWX which I hope will become an informational RFC.

You can loadMovie() SWX data files and they are ready to use the moment they are loaded. You don't need to deserialize or massage the data in any way before using it as it is stored in native Flash objects.
