Open SBK File
SBK files can take various formats for specific applications, some of which you will see below:
SWiSH
In this case, an SBK file is a backup copy of a SWiSH project file, whose standard format is SWI, which itself is a Flash custom animation format.
SWiSH is a Flash-based authoring tool, functional for designing your own Flash creations without using the original program.
It is designed to create Flash elements such as buttons or advanced transition effects.
However, sometimes it is also used to design some interactive Flash websites through this tool.
The SBK file is automatically created by the SWiSH authoring program in case the original project file is lost or corrupted.
You may need to change the file extension from SBK to SWI for the SBK file to open correctly.
Multimedia ToolBook
In this second case, the SBK file is a utility file included with the Multimedia ToolBook.
More about ToolBook
ToolBook is an author language program that allows you to create Windows applications and, additionally, has the object-oriented OpenScript programming language, enabling its possibilities in the generation of multimedia applications.
To facilitate programming tasks, ToolBook incorporates own script and recording functions.
The SBK file, for ToolBook, includes scripts that extend the functionality of the ToolBook program.
With an SBK file, you can add additional menu items or authoring capabilities.
Scrapbook Factory Deluxe
In this section, an SBK file is a scrapbook created with Scrapbook Factory Deluxe.
Scrapbook Factory Deluxe offers a collection of templates for scrapbook pages and other similar projects, with photorealistic graphics.
Plus, create slideshows and galleries of images, digital and scanned drawings, photos, and other materials for presentation and storage.
The SBK includes photos saved in a scrapbook format using photorealistic templates and graphics included in the software.
E-MU SoundFont
In the latter case, the SBK file is a collection of sound samples saved in the SoundFont format.
The SoundFont format, at the time, was very popular, however, at this time it is no longer developed.
The SBK is recognized by E-MU hardware, SoundBlaster sound cards, and other software samplers.
Due to the obsolescence of the SoundFont format, meanwhile, the SBK format was replaced by the SF2 file format in SoundFont 2.
