MMF2 Flash Details

News posted 1st March, 2010 by OMC

Clickteam's French site has a page dedicated to MMF2 Flash. It has a runthrough of the benefits of using Flash, some pricing information (Though a bit ambiguous, I can't tell if it's touting the flash addon or MMF2 with flash), and links to several playable flash games.

Visit the Google-translated MMF2 Flash page

Also, thanks to a tip from Fanotherpg, I can share a youtube video detailing some of the features of MMF2 flash. It's in French, but you can still understand most of what's going on.

Does this answer anything?

Right, just what I figured. I thought I'd start learning flashdevelop/flixel, get a game going, and poof! Here comes MMF2 with Flash runtime. Just my luck. Hopefully it'll be a bit easier. It doesn't answer everything.
1. What kind of language does it use? If any?
2. Will we be able to add libraries and such such as Flixel?

Nope, don't see an answer.

Don't ask me I'm just a little birdie. But still nice to see some indev effects of Flash.

I think I'd rather wait till there's English details. It seems no better than Java at the moment.

I looked at the French store's prices and deduced that the prices on the page linked here are indeed with the price of Flash included.

Yes, those are probably prices for MMF2 with Flash.

It's exciting to see the release getting nearer - maybe we're just a few weeks away? Also great to see so many practical examples of flash games compiled with MMF2! However, I'm slightly worried about the fact that none of the examples have utilized scrolling on a large resolution with lots of actives, parallax or other visual effects. They are all quite small and slow paced. I'm just wondering what are the performance limits of the runtime, as e.g. Java has troubles running graphically intensive games. Also CT mentioned yesterday that it's not possible to build a game in lower resolution and scale it up to e.g. double size when using flash, which could fix the problem. Oh well, maybe I'm just being too pessimistic about it.

I figured the prices are just the Flash upgrade, since Clickteam has to dish out a lot for the license? I have no idea how it works, but I thought I read that somewhere...

Xhunterko:
1-It's mmf2 and you can export flash apps with it, therefore I think that pretty much answers the question.
2-The most likely answer is no, and Flixel is just a framework which means that even if you could add it to mmf it would be useless.

Being able to export flash apps is imo one of the best features clickteam worked on for like 10 years, I just don't understand why people who already paid for mmf2 should be forced to pay more just to be able to use it.
