Does corona supports SWF format


I want to develop an app in Corona SDK, in which I want to split screen of the device into multiple sub screen.

In Each screen I can display/play any of the following format.

Graphics: JPEG PNG Flash swf Gif pdf

Video: MPEG mp4

Audio formats: mp3 wav

Please tell me is it possible to run these formats in Corona App & second thing is it possible to play these different thing in a single screen. Like Windows 8 has Live tiles.

That means, in screen tile 'A' I want to play video, in tile 'B' a pdf, etc.enter image description here


Solution

  • Corona SDK does not support SWF, FLA, FLV or any form of flash. There used to be a 3rd party product that could convert a SWF to Corona Lua code, but I don't know how up to date it is, if it's even available. Once we changed our software to use our new Graphics 2.0 format, it broke a lot of older 3rd party software packages.

    We do not support Animated GIF's but should unoffically load a non-animated version.
