Press Release Summary = Turn SWF projects into profitable, try-before-you-buy
commercial products

Press Release Body = SWFMaestro.com has announced the availability of SWF Maestro
1.20, 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 PRO
and SCR PRO.

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

Using the new \"try-before-you-buy\" feature, you can create limitations of different
types. For example, you can set up your application to work for a specified number
of days of the trial period, or a particular number of launches. Additionally, you
may set limitations on access to files. This method works well with projects
consisting 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 the
unregistered user can open only a part of the entire collection.

The SWF Maestro software, unlike others, compiles an unlimited number of SWF files
into 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 together
with 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 also
be used to make freeware promo screensavers or games. For example, you can use
SWFMaestro SCR to create a screensaver with your corporate logo and message. The
benefits of this type of promotion is that your screensaver will reach your target
audience at the place where they spend most of the time - behind the desk and remind
about your business each time the computer becomes idle. Besides, nice screensavers
distribute themselves when people send them to colleagues and friends, so they will
spread the word about you.

Pricing and Availability

SWF Maestro software runs under Microsoft Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP/Vista. Registered
customers can create applications without the \"unregistered version\" watermark, and
get free updates to minor versions and priority technical support by email.
Additional information on the software, as well as its trial versions are available
from www.swfmaestro.com.
