creating macromedia flash on linux

*quickly searched both google and lq.org and didn't find anything*

Is there software that allows you to create macromedia flash files using a linux box?

yeah yeah. flash is evil and all that. this is an experiment.

flash | wine
swish | wine

The only other thing I can think of is MNG which may or maynot be what you are looking for:

or search for 'swf' on sourceforge.net.

there are a couple of people working on flash export scripts for blender. but there are very preliminary and nothing has been released that works well.

thanks guys. i've already checked into mng. for what i'm looking to do it is certainly an attractive option.

however http://drawswf.sourceforge.net/ works great! it's java software and works like a charm.

why is flash known as evil? never heard this before.. curious..

Flash can be all right, it's just when a website is flash and nothing else that it is evil. Whenever I see a "page loading...." I just hit the back button. I really don't have time for that crap. I guess the point is that an all-flash website is crap from a usability point of view, and they are usually bandwidth hogs.

some of my developer friends sling this phrase around just as we say ms is an evil company.

dmx9595 · 07-03-2003, 04:03 PM

oh, well ms IS evil not just a phrase.. but yeah most ppl dont say/think it on a serious note

.. oh well..

i consider them quite evil as a company. all joking aside.
