Discontinuation
Macromedia discontinued sales of Generator 2 on December 31, 2002. Support ended in June 2003; the last update was version 2.6.

Macromedia sought to migrate users to Macromedia Flash MX, but Generator 2 was discontinued without having added support for Flash MX. Developers found an alternative through JGenerator, an open-source application from JZox which offered similar functionality with support for Flash MX. On December 11, 2003, Macromedia signed a licensing agreement with JZox, which no longer sells JGenerator.
