What is Flax?
Flax is a game develop tool based on Flash Professional (Later we called it Flash), which is a well-known multimedia creation platform. For the past few years, Flash has even become a powerful game develop tool.
Flax is just to use the power of the Flash to create animation/UI/scene/font etc. Convert a created SWF to texture to be used by other game develop platform, such as Cocos2d-js, Cocos2d-x, Unity, Starling, maybe more.
