This is it! Airsoft Softwair has saved their greatest firework for New Year's Day! MUI Royale is a plugin for Hollywood that finally allows you to easily create MUI GUIs with Hollywood. MUI Royale supports over 40 MUI classes including popular third-party classes like TextEditor.mcc and TheBar.mcc. Creating and managing menustrips is also fully supported. The plugin sets new standards concerning the ease of use because the GUI layout can be conveniently defined using an XML file that is converted into a MUI GUI by MUI Royale on the fly. GUI design has never been so easy! Of course, new features of MUI 3.9 (AmigaOS 4) and MUI 4.0 (MorphOS) are also supported.
The highlight of MUI Royale, however, is certainly its inbuilt Hollywood MUI class. This class allows dynamic embedding of complete Hollywood displays into MUI GUIs which can be used to combine the best of both worlds - MUI's proven GUI skills and Hollywood's unequalled multimedia capabilities - into one powerful application, limited by the scope of your creativity only.
MUI Royale requires at least Hollywood 5.2 and is provided free of charge for all users of Hollywood. It is available for AmigaOS 3 (m68k), AmigaOS 4 (PPC), MorphOS (PPC), and AROS (i386). The package comes with almost 20 example scripts, many of which are direct ports from the MUI 3.8 SDK by Stefan Stuntz, but there are also original developments like demonstrations of how to create a video player using the combined power of Hollywood and MUI. On top of that MUI Royale comes with extensive documentation as a 280 page PDF file which is also available in the HTML, AmigaGuide, and CHM formats thanks to the Hollywood documentation system.
All this makes MUI Royale the truly royal MUI experience, carefully crafted for you Kings and Queens of MUI! (screenshots: shot1.png (http://www.hollywood-mal.com/img/mr_shot1.png) shot2.png (http://www.hollywood-mal.com/img/mr_shot2.png) shot3.png (http://www.hollywood-mal.com/img/mr_shot3.png))

I find it puzzling though, that Hollywood is obviously still being developed in various ways, yet withdrawn from the market.
Has any reason or explanation ever been given for this?

you're not the only one. it seems rather bizarre. i'm sure there is a good reason, but, oh well; i assume andreas will share the rationale with his customers at some point. this is a great enhancement, though!

That's stunning news! I wish I had time to play with it, and opportunity to buy it as well, because the combination of Hollywood and MUI must be deadly! :)
I still remember how I used Rainboot (the ancestor of Hollywood, right?) to create a line-up graphics projection for a dance party :) It was more than 10 years ago I believe.

Well, other good feature for Hollywood and the future applications.

This is the kewlest news evar!!!!
Hollywood + MUI = World Domination!

Hollywood should be released to public domain to allow us to further develop it.
This new capability to work with Mui makes it all the more useful.
As a MorphOS user, I am thrilled at this development.

Hollywoods problem is _not_ that development has stalled or ceased (quite the contrary as latest releases proof), but that it isn't on sale currently. But I am confident this will change again.
