Macromedia Case Study: Unity 2

Overview Unity 2 Multiuser Development Kit is one of the richest multiuser development frameworks available for Macromedia Flash. It includes a Java-based server and a Macromedia Flash-based client development library. Unity 2 wanted to create a client library that lets developers build multiuser applications without having to know Java. Unity 2 chose Macromedia Flash MX Professional, developer Colin Moock, who created the client library, says it would not exist without ActionScript 2, the built-in programming language that received major enhancements in Macromedia Flash MX Professional 2004.
