The Scaleform MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online Game) Kit, designed for optimum performance and memory savings, provides a foundation for massively multiplayer online game UI using Autodesk® Scaleform®.

The kit includes CLIK-based MMO interface elements like an Inventory and Paper Doll, as well as frameworks for drag and drop, windowing, dynamic icon resource management, and component data binding. The assets, ActionScript widgets, and sample C++ code can be reused by developers and/or leveraged as a best-practices sample in the architecture and implementation of their user interface for their game.
