PRODUCT TESTIMONIALS

Thank you for all the great support with my prototyping. Your comments have been dead-on and very informative. This is a great product with superb service! Since I was told that SWF Scout only really supports Flash Lite 1.1, but that I could try setting to version 6 or 7, I thought you would want my results. Although I've had to do a few work-arounds (which could be due to my misunderstanding) by using version 7 I've been able to develop a fully interactive business application (ported from a mobile application) in a single SWF running on a Windows Mobile 5 device using Flash Lite 2.1 and it works perfectly! I look forward to a good partnership and will spread the word! Keep up the good work. -- Bob Hansen
