Wouldn't it just be better to save your Flash to Adobe Air? Isn't that what Air is for?

So it's a REALbasic program that sticks flash movies into a template application which, presumably is also made with Real Basic.

Though I didn't get a chance to dig that deeply into it because well, the program is just too painful.

* Build times are slow on a 2GHz G5
* the preview insists on auto-playing in the background and you have to bring it to the front to shut it off.
* the toolbar is just a row of buttons that changes the tabs for you, what a waste!
* The price is about how much you would pay for REAL Basic anyway. You could easily set up a template project to accomplish most of what Zinc does.

This seams like a get-rich-quick scheme if I ever heard one.

All that being said; The silly thing can't even be run from the locked disk image it is distributed on! It throws a nil object exception. Which makes me wonder how well the designers really thought this one out.
[Version 2.5.0.12]
