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.

“So universal and widely related is any transcendent moral greatness, and so nearly identical with greatness everywhere and in every age,—as a pyramid contracts the nearer you approach its apex,—that, when I look over my commonplace-book of poetry, I find that the best of it is oftenest applicable, in part or wholly, to the case of Captain Brown.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Clearly, society has a tremendous stake in insisting on a woman’s natural fitness for the career of mother: the alternatives are all too expensive.”
—Ann Oakley (b. 1944)
