Abstract
SWX is the native data format for Flash. Data is wrapped inside a SWF shell (Figure 8–1), or the most native possible format on the Flash Platform. The SWF is then interpreted by Flash Player just like a SWF is compiled using the Flash IDE. The SWX format is a subset of the SWF format, just like JSON is a subset of JavaScript.
