Benefits of Using MachBlue Studio
Bluestreak has created a powerful turnkey solution that greatly extends the basic Flash® development environment with a robust set of device-specific extensions. MachBlue Studio enhances creativity and increases productivity with features that include device emulation, live publish-to-target testing, and debugging tools such as MachBlue Insight.
MachBlue Studio is used to create interactive applications, games, animations, virtual channels, and the
entire man-machine interface of any device running MachBlue using the Flash® multimedia format. Distinguished
by the file extension SWF, a Flash® application can include raster and vector graphics, sounds, and ActionScript code.
MachBlue Studio, integrated within the Adobe® Flash® authoring tool, provides an exceptionally powerful and
flexible platform for developing compelling animated applications. Its advantages include:
- A rapid development environment
- Superb handling of multimedia content (e.g. graphics, animation, audio)
- An advanced scripting language with Bluestreak’s platform-specific extensions
- The ability to build once and deploy in many places without the need for additional porting
