· Adobe Flash 9 Compatible

· {mdm}Script 2.0
Following the success of {mdm}Script, Zinc v2.5 now features an all new {mdm}Script 2.0 Scripting Engine! {mdm}Script 2.0 provides a true Object Orientated Approach to Programming and is integrated directly with ActionScript 1.0 and 2.0 - Using {mdm}Script 2.0 is as simple and straightforward as using ActionScript. In addition, {mdm}Script 2.0 is available in your Project without the need to initialize it first.

· Synchronous & Asynchronous Scripting
{mdm}Script 2.0 is 100% Synchronous! This means that code is executed in the correct order eliminating the need to use Call Backs, Loops, Intervals or any other "workarounds". Best of all, Zinc v2.5 is the First and Only SWF2EXE Application which provides the ability to switch between Synchronous and Asynchronous Scripting during runtime on both Windows and Mac OSX.

You choose the best method for your Project - True Synchronous and/or Asynchronous behavior on both Windows and Mac OSX means you can work smarter, not harder.

Zinc v2.5 is now available, natively, for both Windows and Mac OSX! The all new Mac OSX IDE Version features the same intuitive and familiar User Interface as the long established Windows version, along with some great enhancements designed specifically for OSX.
