[svlug] FOSS way to create Flash?

[Rick Moen]

Quoting Joe Buck (Joe.Buck at synopsys.COM):

> The only app I've used that writes SWF is vnc2swf (use VNC to turn a
> screen session into a Flash movie).  It uses a library called Ming
> that might be used to write other parts of Flash animations.
> 
> mencoder can also generate Flash videos (.flv format).

To add to that list:  SWFTools (http://www.swftools.org/), swfmill w/ MTASC.

Also, OpenOffice.org can also export presentations and drawings to .swf.

Further options might be findable through:  http://osflash.org/  E.g.:
http://osflash.org/open_source_flash_projects
http://osflash.org/closed_source_flash_tools

Support for post-v. 6 features can be done only through
reverse-engineering, on account of Adobe's restrictions on the
specifications documents for the main format variants.
