MainLobby Designer allows great flexibilty and power over what your MainLobby scenes look like, navigate like and what they can control. Graphical elements can be easily selected from the included MainLobby library, or from the optional Cinemar libraries. Users can also add their own graphics using user created jpg image files.

Newly supported in MainLobby Designer, is the ability for end users to create their own Flash buttons that can have different graphical states for when the button is Down, Up, and when the mouse pointer is "hovering" over the button. Up until now, this required the user to have Macromedia Flash software, and the experience to use this feature rich design software.

Now available is a free tool* that makes creation of Flash buttons (swf file) super easy and doesn't require Macromedia Flash at all.

Cinemar SWF Generator

To use the SWF Generator, download the SwfGen.zip file to a directory and unzip it. Just launch the SwfGen.exe file and the above window should open. In the Up Image field, click the browse button and locate the Up button image you would like to use. There are samples in the Buttons directory. Do same for Down and Over Image. Then, select a path and file name for the Output SWF file. Click the Make SWF button, and you're done creating an swf that can be used in MainLobby!

Normally, you could copy the new swf to the Cinemar\SWF directory. In MainLobby Design Menu, click the Image button and select the new swf file you created. You should now have your custom swf button in your MainLobby scene.

*The Cinemar SWF Generator is free for use by MainLobby customers. It is licensed for creation of buttons only to be used in MainLobby.

** Requires MainLobby 3.00.51 or higher to display files created with the SWF Generator Tool.
