The remaining desktop based open source Flash creation software includes Ajax Animator, Clash, OpenOffice Impress, KToon, Salasaga, and Synfig, but these applications aren't yet finished and don't have full support for the Flash IDE; most of them only draw images and lack script support.
However, there is a compiler called swfc which generates SWF files from script files, with support for ActionScript and SVG line tags. It is currently the most complete alternative for building Flash content in Linux, despite being entirely script-based and not having a GUI.
Another compiler for script files to .swf is Ming. Ming has bindings for popular scripting languages such as php and python.
OSFlash, a site dedicated to Open Source Flash resources and discussions, was launched in 2005 and has achieved a wide base of support in the Open Source community. Hosting well over 60 separate flash-related projects as at November, 2009, the site acts as a central 'watering hole' for locally hosted teams as well as many other projects hosted elsewhere.

Famous quotes containing the words related and/or alternatives:
“Perhaps it is nothingness which is real and our dream which is non-existent, but then we feel think that these musical phrases, and the notions related to the dream, are nothing too. We will die, but our hostages are the divine captives who will follow our chance. And death with them is somewhat less bitter, less inglorious, perhaps less probable.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“The last alternatives they face
Of face, without the life to save,
Being from all salvation weaned
A stag charged both at heel and head:
Who would come back is turned a fiend
Instructed by the fiery dead.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
