As of late 2021, we are in the process of updating Stencylpedia and fixing up outdated & broken content. Thanks for your patience!
Disclaimer: Stencyl does NOT support online multiplayer games. A few years, an end user used a third party library (Electrotank) to create a multiplayer game. Word got out about this, and we still get questions about it.

Note that with the release of Stencyl 1.2, there is a much easier way to import SWC files.

Also: the "install a SWC file" link should point to http://www.stencyl.com/help/viewArt icle/84
