The Ultimate Tool for Flash and Flex Developers

Swiff Player Developer Edition enables Flash and Flex developers to create tremendous PowerPoint Slide Shows. Control slide navigation during the Slide Show, write Flash applications that receive PowerPoint effects and react to them. Debug directly from Adobe Flash Builder. Your Slide Show will remain compatible with standard PowerPoint Remotes.

Empower your Slide Shows with Flash and ActionScript

In addition to the features of the Professional Edition, Swiff Player Developer Edition adds access to the PowerPoint API through ActionScript during the Slide Show. The API allows you to navigate through the slides, read the slide history and elapsed time on each slide, receive PowerPoint effects applied to your Flash, manipulate the background bitmap behind your Flash and more.
