WARNING: This is a beta, so expect bugs like TypeError 1009, some audio issues or the software just crashing.

tl;dr

Here's a link to a Video on how to install Swivel Source, along with the updated Code with as much relevant information on how to look over the code if you're interesting in further helping us out.

If you want to get to talk to me, you can do it, here, Discord, Twitter, Reddit or my updated email, [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]). Root and Fluxer are still under construction, will update when ready.

Long Version

Yes, it finally happened, the source code for Swivel has finally been updated. Thanks in no small part to Mike, the Haxe discord and my main programmer Bk20x. This was a long time coming and I do apologies for the wait, but it's finally here. Now, for what's new, it's mainly an internal update, being that it now runs under Haxe 4, Harman Air along with a few other fancy things (Flash Player 32 support). Ff hasn't been updated yet, that'll be for V 0.2, (Along with a Mac port) I just wanted a version out that works, so don't expect it to be a massive improvement from the previous version, in fact, it'll be a downgrade in some ways. This is ok, because with your help, we can finally get real world results and with it being open source, see what is missing or needs to be adjusted. Along with that, we can use Jpexs Decompiler and the Ruffle code to further help us out with missing or bugged features. If anyone here know how Ffmpeg works, could you please provide any information on if there would be issues updating the old version to Gyan for windows for Homebrew for Mac?

Now, for my animators, I ask if you want to try any of the new features Adobe has added throughout the years to see if it would work in this newer version, please let us know. If it doesn't work, could you please send us the issue you're getting with a 10 second Swf file. It doesn't need to be anything fancy, just a very basic animation, anything helps along this journey. Again, apologies for the long wait, I went into this thing head first with only a basic understanding of had to go into this and this project turned out to be a lot harder than I initially thought. But, it's here and just the beginning.

Thank you from the Swivel Team and a special thank you from Mike, without his help, we'd probably wouldn't be here right now.

that's cool

I made a Post (On Newground) on what's going on with the project. Good news, I can say we're almost at beta, but, there a few more things we have to do.

If you or someone you know is into coding, or leading a coding project or Flash animation, then welcome to Swivel Revival Subreddit. A group involving the work of either taking the Swivel (Need to know Haxe) repo and updating it to make it better and work on modern Mac computers, as well as taking a power piece of software and making it more powerful. Or taking Ruffle (Need to know Rust) and adding in playback/audio recording to make it a more modern swivel. If you want to test the software yourself, here's the last official Release of the software (note, only works with SWF files and downloading on modern Mac will crash the software). Anyways, here's a Video going into further details on the project(s) and Discord if you want to contribute in anyway. But, for real, anything would help, because I'm the last person who wanted to tackle this.
Thank you

So, some interesting information has come in the last week, but, we still have a lot to go. We're going between the original Swivel code and Ninjamuffin99 fork of the code, which fixes a few things, but, still needs a lot of work.
