I have an existing javascript/flash -interaction kludge that sucks terribly. Now I’ve decided it’d be better to write a flash app that does the specific thing without the need to interact with javascript.
Therefore I’d need to produce flash apps in linux, and I don’t have money to throw at adobe right now (perhaps never if their software keeps being terrible). Also not going to do software development on windows, have been there, conclusion: that’s not going to work well ever.
So, any solutions? Free or open source?
If you don’t need the Flash GUI features, you might check out Adobe’s free Flex developer tools. They produce SWF files.
