Description
.sparta is an Adobe AIR based utility. It allows you to edit .mxi files and create new ones. It currently supports the majority of the MXI specification with the goal of supporting all of it.
I made this program because I was tired of all the half-assed MXI editing programs that were built with Flash MX 2004 and some random swf to exe program. I also tended to forget what options I had when creating an MXI for my own components. So I created .sparta, it has a (hopefully) intuitive interface and shows ALL the options MXI can support.
Features
- Scalable UI
- Drag-n-Drop support
- Create MXI files
- Edit MXI files
- Auto-update capability
- Tool-Tips describing every feature
- Create mxi files for Fireworks, Dreamweaver and Flash
Usage
- Open .sparta
- Go to File->Open
- Navigate to your file and select open
- Edit and make any changes you may have
- Go to File->Save
- It’s THAT easy… =p

.sparta has recently been added to Softpedia.

great work – do you think you will every put in functionality for creativng Photoshop MXI files?
October 9, 2009
I believe it should support Photoshop MXI files. Am I missing anything in particular? I used the MXI file format reference as a guide so it shouldn’t be specific to any one product.

it dosent have Flash CS4 listed… i manually added it in the mxi… where’s the path to the actionscript panel… i cant find it in the TYPE combo bow tokens

You’re right. I probably should update this for CS4. I’ll get on this when I finish my updates to Flashbug. So many projects, so little time.
