That, an editor, and Bob's your uncle.
On Windows, there's also a nice open source IDE (http://flashdevelop.org http://flashdevelop.org).
The one thing that's not open source is the player, and that is free.
- megablast 16y agoYou realise that Adobe lets you make any components you want EXCEPT FOR THE PLAYER? Why, because they want to retain control of it. I mean, they publish the spec, people have made players before, and they have been told by Adobe to stop. Sounds familiar.
- stuntmouse 16y agoIt'd be interesting to pressure Adobe on this point right now, given the context.
- Sindisil 16y agoThat is incorrect. They used place that restriction on those accessing the .swf spec, but that restriction has been lifted. I'd have to check, but I think it's been several years now, but it's certainly been more than a year.
