Compile an Executable or a Screensaver from Your Flash SWF with a `Try-before-you-buy` Limitations Feature

SWFMaestro.com has announced the availability of SWF Maestro1.20, a lineup of tools that enable the user to compile SWF and subsidiary files(XML, FLV, MP3, JPG) into a standalone executable (.exe) or a screensaver (.scr).The SWF Maestro family includes SWF Maestro EXE, SCR, plus two new editions: EXE PROand SCR PRO.

EXE PRO and SCR PRO editions deliver the same feature set as EXE and SCR, but haveone important novelty - an ability to add "try-before-you-buy" limitations to theoutput. It means you can create an application that will require the end user toregister to remove the trial limitations. This functionality makes EXE PRO and SCRPRO editions especially appealing to the developers who want to distribute theirprojects as shareware with a free trial period.

Using the new "try-before-you-buy" feature, you can create limitations of differenttypes. For example, you can set up your application to work for a specified numberof days of the trial period, or a particular number of launches. Additionally, youmay set limitations on access to files. This method works well with projectsconsisting of many files, for example:

. tutorials where the unregistered user may open only a few lessons;. games in which the unregistered user may play only a few levels. collections of applications, games, movies, audio tracks, photos where theunregistered user can open only a part of the entire collection.

The SWF Maestro software, unlike others, compiles an unlimited number of SWF filesinto EXE and SCR and is able to create applications with real transparency effect.The output is fully configurable - you can specify its name, version information,add subsidiary files for compilation, enable the Settings menu and add its own icon.It's also possible to add a Flash Player to the output to be distributed togetherwith your project. The compiled project can be protected from SWF decompilers,saving your intellectual property from theft.

SWFMaestro software is good not only for creating commercial products but can alsobe used to make freeware promo screensavers or games. For example, you can useSWFMaestro SCR to create a screensaver with your corporate logo and message. Thebenefits of this type of promotion is that your screensaver will reach your targetaudience at the place where they spend most of the time - behind the desk and remindabout your business each time the computer becomes idle. Besides, nice screensaversdistribute themselves when people send them to colleagues and friends, so they willspread the word about you.
