original research date March 2011 unreferenced date March 2011 Flash For Linux is an initiative to develop an open source application for Linux intending to be an alternative to Macromedia Flash Adobe Flash , a popular application for creating on line and off line media content. Swf playback is available for Linux with Gnash and swfdec , though no .fla editor or integrated development environment IDE is yet available. F4L The F4L project has halted development pursuant to intellectual property issues regarding the Flash product name and other trademark oriented issues.

The application layout is very similar to Adobe Systems Adobe Flash. UIRA hopes that being able to output in the .swf will become a realistic choice and competent alternative to Flash. UIRA aims to provide their product, in accordance to the Open Source Initiative , as a free project in the vein of Flash MX content authoring for the near future. Development appears to have ceased however. UIRA UIRA was a project for a Linux alternative to the Adobe Flash IDE. UIRA intended to combine the resources and knowledge of the F4L project and the Qflash project, both of which were Open Source applications that provided to some extent an alternative to the proprietary Adobe Flash . UIRA is a recursive acronym for U IRA I sn t a R ecursive A cronym. UIRA was free software , but was never truly completed. According to its creators, UIR ... more details
