Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for rendering a stage in a software authoring tool. A run-time player component is employed for rendering the stage for presenting a preview of output of a software application being authored in the software authoring tool. Thus, a software authoring tool outputs a stage which presents a preview of the output of an application being authored, such as a multimedia application. The output presentation of a multimedia application being authored in the authoring tool is rendered to the stage by a run-time player component. Thus, rather than employing code integrated within the authoring tool for mimicking a run-time player in order to generate a preview of output on the stage, embodiments of the present invention utilize a run-time player component to generate such a preview of output on the stage.
