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

Description
.merlin is an Adobe AIR based utility. If you’re like me, and have a thousands of mis-labeled fonts scattered in endless folders, this utility is for you. I had a folder with roughly 7000 fonts, it would bring Windows to a halt just opening the folder. I also had a lot of duplicate fonts because they were all labeled incorrectly.
This utility will extract the actual font name, and rename the file based off of that. Then put that font into a folder of the first letter. So Arial would go in the “a” folder. While it’s processing fonts, it will display which font is being processed. Below the progress bar will update with the current font of the total being processed (ie. 15 of 200). If for some reason .merlin runs into any errors, it will stop processing fonts and report the specific font it had a problem with.
Some of the options you can configure for processing is to move, rename, or delete files. Each has a check box to enable or disable each.

Description
.minerva is an Adobe AIR based utility. It is capable of reading and writing AS2 (AMF0) and AS3 (AMF3) Shared Objects (.sol Files). It is also capable of reformatting JavaScript that has been optimized. An example of optimized JavaScript is JavaScript that has all the line breaks removed in order to reduce file size. Thus reducing the entire script to a single line. While good for file size, it’s hard on readability. .minerva returns the code back to it’s formatted form.
Features
- Read/Write AS3 Shared Objects – Capable of reading/writing Flash 9 and newer .sol files.
- Read/Write AS2 Shared Objects – Capable of reading/writing Flash 8 and older .sol files.
- Reformat JavaScript – This is a bit of a random feature I added in becuase I didn’t feel like making an entire application for this feature. When you run across compressed JavaScript, it’s a pain to read. What this allows you to do is return that compressed (often one-lined) JavaScript back into formatted and legible text.
