MXI File Creator is a Windows Desktop Application, built with Screenweaver and Macromedia Flash MX, for creating and editing Macromedia Extensions (.mxi files).
So, what is this MXI File Creator?
In short, it's a small application that will help you create .mxi files for Flash MX Extensions, in just a few minutes.
The application is form based, so basically it's a few input text fields and drop down boxes, nicely separated into 6 'screens', which each represent a section of the MXI file format, namely:
- macromedia-extension
- license-agreement
- author
- products
- description
- ui-access
- files
By simply filling in the required data and saving the file to disk, the application then transforms the data into the proper XML format, which is what an MXI file actually is, an XML file with the .mxi extension.
Once an .mxi file has been saved to disk, you can create an .mxp package directly from within the application, by launching the Macromedia Extension Manager, or preview the data (XML) in a browser window.
When adding the required files that comprise your extension - either by typing in the file name, dragging and dropping the files on the application, or browsing for them on your hard disk - you no longer have to wonder what the correct destination directory is for each type of file (.fla, .swf, .as, .xml, etc...). All you have to do is select the proper file type from a drop down list. And when adding a file through the browse option, or through drag and drop, a default destination is selected for you.
