John Scull

**John Scull** (born c.1956) was the president and CEO of MacroMind from 1988 to 1990.

## Early life and education

Scull was born into a missionary family in Indonesia and grew up in Java and Sumatra, where he learned to speak fluent bahasa Indonesia. When he was 12, the family moved to Singapore to enter private business.

Scull studied mathematics and received a BBA in economics from Oklahoma University in 1978. He received his MBA from Harvard University in 1981.

## Career

While working at a New York computer store, Scull impressed Peter Crisp, the managing director of Venrock who happened to be on the Apple Board of Directors.

### Apple Computer

Crisp recommended Scull to Steve Jobs, Bill Campbell, and John Sculley (no relation) at Apple Computer. Scull joined Apple in 1983 as a retail marketing manager for the rollout of the Macintosh, where he coordinated the "Test Drive a Macintosh" program. Amid turmoil at Apple in 1985 with the ouster of Steve Jobs and disappointing sales of the Macintosh Office, Scull was reassigned to business marketing where he focused marketing of the Mac and the LaserWriter towards the new desktop publishing category. By 1988, the growing desktop publishing market helped drive over $1 billion in sales. Scull then submitted a business plan to pursue multimedia with disc-based interactive video. However, the proposal was not approved.

### MacroMind

In 1988, Scull joined MacroMind, where he became president and CEO. He supervised the development of VideoWorks into MacroMind Director, which was launched in 1989 at the Macworld Expo and drove over $10 million in sales. In November 1990, Scull stepped down from his position as president. However, Scull was forced out in 1991 by incoming CEO Tim Mott, right before the company became Macromedia through a series of mergers.

### After Macromedia

Scull formed PF Magic in 1991 which initially developed for CD-i and then virtual "Petz" for the web. The company was acquired by Mindscape, a subsidiary of The Learning Company in 1998. After becoming a venture capitalist, Scull co-founded Southern Cross Venture Partners in association with the SoftBank Group and focuses on Asian-Pacific partnerships as the managing director.

HomeSite 1

**HomeSite 1.0** is the first version of the HomeSite HTML editing tool that was created by independent programmer Nick Bradbury.

## Product history

In 1995, Bradbury began writing HomeSite in Visual Basic for his own personal use to maintain his online comic website, *Dexter*. He then rewrote it in Delphi for speed and compactness and released it in July 1996. After he notified some shareware sites about it, he discovered HomeSite had been downloaded over a thousand times during the first night. It was also positively received by trade magazines. Microsoft made the first offer to acquire HomeSite, but Bradbury ended up taking a counter-offer from Allaire in March 1997 and continued working on HomeSite as a commercial product for 18 months.

4-bit color

**4-bit color** is a color depth that can allow for up to 16 grays, or 16 colors assigned by a color lookup table (CLUT). This is referred to as "**16 colors**" on classic Macintosh systems, and the EGA standard by PC users.

## Color palettes

When the cost of video RAM was high, early computers used color palettes to improve the appearance of graphics with a limited number of colors.

### Apple Computer

Apple Computer implemented the 8 basic QuickDraw colors in a rudimentary 16-color "System Palette", though the term is more commonly associated with the 256-color palette.

### Microsoft

Microsoft implemented a palette based on the EGA standard in which the first 8 colors were lower-luminosity values of the last 8.

MacroMind Accelerator

**MacroMind Accelerator**, formerly **VideoWorks Accelerator**, was a utility provided by MacroMind (the predecessor of Macromedia) to process Director and VideoWorks files for faster playback on slower computers.

## Features

VideoWorks Accelerator was first released in 1988 as a separate utility for VideoWorks II users. It pre-composited graphical elements into a single streaming file that could be loaded and played back from memory at up to 30 frames per second.

It was renamed MacroMind Accelerator in 1989 with support for encoding and accelerating Director files. It was later bundled with MacroMind Three-D in 1991 and MacroMind Director 3.1 in 1992. Accelerator was discontinued as the release of QuickTime from Apple Computer and Video for Windows from Microsoft made it redundant.

Kevin Lynch

**Kevin M. Lynch** is an American software developer, and former Chief Software Architect of Macromedia.

## Education

Lynch graduated from Lincoln-Way Central High School in New Lenox, Illinois. He attended the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) College of Engineering as an undergraduate student, where he studied computer science and interactive computer graphics and worked in the UIC College of Engineering’s Electronic Visualization Laboratory. In 2017, Lynch was awarded an honorary Doctor of Engineering degree by UIC for his work in software development.

## Career

Lynch first joined Macromedia in 1996.
He then co-founded teleconferencing software company Presedia with Keith Kitani in 1999. After Presedia was acquired by Macromedia in January 2003, Lynch became executive vice president and Chief Software Architect of Macromedia.

After Adobe acquired Macromedia in December 2005, Lynch became Chief Technology Officer of Adobe on February 5, 2008. In 2010, Lynch entered into a highly-publicized disagreement with Apple CEO Steve Jobs over the merits of Flash on mobile devices. Lynch even co-starred in a parody video in which he participated in the destruction of an Apple iPhone. Ironically, Jobs attempted to secretly recruit Lynch in the process. Lynch left Adobe on March 22, 2013 without a successor to the CTO position. In May 2013, Lynch joined Apple, where he led development on the Apple Watch as vice president of technology. In 2021, Lynch had reportedly been transferred to work on Apple's electric car project.

Fauve Matisse

**Fauve Matisse** was a natural painting application that was released by Fauve Software in 1993. Some of its features formed the foundation of Macromedia xRes and later, Fireworks.

## History

Matisse is noted as being the first commercial application to use the concept of layers in computer graphics editing, preceding Adobe's own implementation in Adobe Photoshop 3. Layers presented a new way of moving portions of objects within a bitmapped image, while allowing the overlapping elements to remain separate. A "Light" version of Matisse 1.2.5 was bundled as a demo with computer magazine CD-ROMs.

After its acquisition of Fauve in 1995, Macromedia briefly continued to market Matisse and xRes from Fauve's existing product line. The features of Matisse's painting and layer features were then combined with the xRes high-resolution image editing engine into what would become Macromedia xRes 2.

Macromedia Authorware

**Macromedia Authorware** is a series of web learning applications that were marketed by Macromedia after its predecessor merged with Authorware Inc.

## History

Dr. Michael W. Allen of Control Data Corporation (CDC) developed a visual version of PLATO (Programmed Logic for Automatic Teaching Operations). When CDC expressed little interest in the project, Allen was permitted to to make a bid for the technology. He then founded the Authorware company in 1984, and soon captured 80% of the computer-based learning market.

### Release history

The company's flagship project was first released as Best Course of Action for Macintosh before being renamed to Authorware Professional in early 1992. Authorware Inc. then merged with MacroMind-Paracomp to form Macromedia in March 1992.

### Discontinuation

In December 2005, Macromedia itself was acquired by Adobe Systems. On August 3, 2007, Adobe announced that Authorware development would be discontinued as the eLearning market had migrated to its Flash and Captivate products. The final released version was 7.0.2.

MXML

**MXML** (**M**acromedia Fle**X** **M**arkup **L**anguage) is an XML-based user interface markup language first introduced by Macromedia in March 2004, and acquired by Adobe Systems in December 2005. Application developers use MXML in combination with ActionScript to develop rich Internet applications, with products such as Apache Flex.

## Usage

MXML is used mainly to declaratively lay out the interface of applications and can also be used to implement business logic and internet application behaviors. It can contain chunks of ActionScript code, either when creating the body of an event handler function, or with data binding where the curly braces (**{**) syntax is used.

MXML is often used with Flex Server, which dynamically compiles it into standard binary SWF files. However, the Adobe Flash Builder IDE (formerly Macromedia Flex Builder) and free Flex SDK can also compile MXML into SWF files without the use of a Flex Server.

There is also a PHP PEAR package called XML\_MXML, which is a framework to build Adobe Flex applications.

MXML is considered a proprietary standard due to its tight integration with Adobe technologies. It is like XAML in this respect. No published translators exist for converting an MXML document to another user interface language such as UIML, XUL, XForms, XAML, or SVG. However, there do exist third party vendor plugins for Flex Builder that are capable of generating a result other than a SWF file from Flex applications, for instance native mobile applications.

## Example source code

A Hello World example:

```
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
 layout="absolute" backgroundGradientColors="[#000011, #333333]">
   <mx:Label text="Hello World!" verticalCenter="0" horizontalCenter="0" fontSize="48" letterSpacing="1">
      <mx:filters>
         <mx:GlowFilter color="#ffffdd"/>
      </mx:filters>
   </mx:Label>
</mx:Application>

MacroMind MusicWorks

**MacroMind MusicWorks**, released in October 1984, was a music composition program and the first product by MacroMind (predecessor of Macromedia).

## Product history

The project was initially called SoundVision, which was to have graphics, text, and sound capabilities. The media elements were timed by a "score" based on an early implementation of MIDI. At the insistence of the publisher, the graphics features were split off and later became MacroMind VideoWorks. The remaining music and audio application was renamed MusicWorks and distributed by Hayden Software.

MacroMind ArtGrabber

**MacroMind ArtGrabber** is a graphics utility that was developed by MacroMind and published by Hayden Software.

## Features

ArtGrabber was implemented by Jay Fenton as a desk accessory instead of an application so that early Macintosh computers without multitasking capabilities could launch it while another program was running to fetch MacPaint graphics which could be copied and pasted into other documents. It does not support vector-based PICT files from MacDraw.

## Product history

ArtGrabber was initially released in 1985 with **Body Shop**, a clip art library created by Mark Stephen Pierce. The graphical elements were designed in pieces that could be assembled by the user.

In 1986, an updated version, **ArtGrabber+** was bundled with MacroMind Utility Disk. It was also bundled with VideoWorks II, which was self-published by MacroMind in 1987.
