You don't need a $600 program to develop flash either. osflash.org has one alternative ide and there are a few others.

    They released the details of Flash with the condition you couldn't create clients. So the Flash clients are all Adobe, but you can write software to create Flash stuff.

  Out of the dozens of IDE's listed here, what's your recommendation?
  • sanswork 19y ago
    I can't give an honest recommendation since I use Adobes software. But I've heard flashdevelop.org is pretty nice.

    OpenLaszlo can create rich internet applications in its own LZX format, which can compile down to Flash or DHTML. Cool stuff.
