After considerable fits and starts, we are happy to announce the shipping of our SWF to XAML conversion tool. It converts SWF graphics and animation into pure (codeless) XAML that you can use for your Vista and eventually Silverlight projects. In recognition that the SWF vs XAML debate usually has religious overtones, we've went with a faith based theme. It has a very unusual UI, but works from the very normal command line as well.

There is currently no demo version, however if you would like to see how well your animation will convert, just send it along and we'll be happy to send the converted XAML back with any notes.

Well not much else to say - there are more details on the site, as well as samples of SWF and Xaml side by side. They look so cute together.

Btw, if you are interested in using the SWF IP you created in video games, we are getting close to an initial release of a SWF to XNA converter as well. XNA allows you to build video games that play on both Windows and the XBox 360. It is very cool, but is just begging for some good old Flash animation in there : ).
