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:
“Women stand related to beautiful nature around us, and the enamoured youth mixes their form with moon and stars, with woods and waters, and the pomp of summer. They heal us of awkwardness by their words and looks. We observe their intellectual influence on the most serious student. They refine and clear his mind: teach him to put a pleasing method into what is dry and difficult.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The literal alternatives to [abortion] are suicide, motherhood, and, some would add, madness. Consequently, there is some confusion, discomfort, and cynicism greeting efforts to “find” or “emphasize” or “identify” alternatives to abortion.”
—Connie J. Downey (b. 1934)
