Free flash animation software for linux

Flash! Torrent is a BitTorrent client that includes a small web browser for navigate in the webs about BitTorrent.

BitTorrent is a programl for distributing files. Its extremely easy to use - downloads are started by clicking on hyperlinks. Whenever more than one person is downloading at once
they send pieces of the file(s) to each other, thus relieving the central servers bandwidth burden. Even with many simultaneous downloads, the upload burden on the central server
remains quite small, since each new downloader introduces new upload capacity.

Windows web browser support is added by running an installer. A prebuilt one is available, but instructions for building it yourself are in BUILD.windows.txt

GIMP Animation Package is a collection of Plug-Ins to extend the GIMP with capabilities to edit and create Animations as sequences of single frames.

Please note that gimp-gap 2.2.1 requires gimp 2.2 and glib 2.8 or higher. It is recommended to use gtk+ 2.8.

Additional Installation Notes:

This GIMP-GAP release includes sourcecode tarballs of external libraries :

- ffmpeg
- libmpeg3

Those libs are built automatically. Configuration options for those libs can be set by editing the
files:

extern_libs/configure_options_ffmpeg.txt
extern_libs/configure_options_libmpeg3.txt

Those configure_option files are read by the master .configure script

Installation:

./autogen.sh # includes the ./configure call
make
make install

GIMP is an acronym for GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is a freely distributed program for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition and image authoring.

TRONimation is a 3-D editing and animation program that aims to be compact and easy to use. It is written in C, and requies the installation only of GL, GLU, and GLUT.

One of my goals in writing this program is to make it as easy for using as much as possible. At the moment, I am rather focused on the console segment of the UI. Currently, almost all commands are accessed through the keyboard interface. When you start, the program show a blank background with the consoles main menu at the top left. On to bottom of the console, all commands possible from the current menu are listed. Above that is general, program-wide information and on top (usually blank) is specific information about any current events. The mouse can be used to jump right to the save/open menu and close/open the console with a left click, and change the program-wide output and render option with a right click.

I am soon going to write some documentation on how to use Tronimation online. I think most people could move about, but editing could pose a problem (In particular object types!). If you arent afraid of C source code, read DrawingRoutines.c to find out what the values are. In short, 0 = no object, 1 = cube, 2 = pyramid, 3 = cylinder, 4 = triangular prism, 5 = recognizer. If you try to use the recognizer, beware: Its nothing but a copy-paste job from a previous demo program I wrote. It wont change size and it isnt complete!

When you want to open a file, you can either enter the absolute directory (like /home/foo/bar/tronimation/data/world.dat) or use a relative directory which starts wherever you started tronimation from (From /home/foo, you could type bar/tronimation/data/world.dat). If you enter the wrong name, the program will simply flash an error message. Eventually, I will probably get around to listing and navigating directories.

Flash for Linux project is a development environment for Macromedia Flash, a format widely used for web applications and vector animation.
F4L is in such early stages of design that it is not recommended for use by people without knowlege of C++, QT, Ming, etc.
F4L is a clone, or imitation, of a Macromedia, Inc. product called Flash. The most current version of Flash is MX 2004. Flash is designed to help people make programs that can be used on any computer and that can be distributed over the Internet.
Flash can even be easily included in a web page. Most browsers include a plug-in that allows users to view Flash content in web pages. If you do not have this plug-in, you may wish to visit http://www.macromedia.com/downloads/ to get it for Mozilla (or compatible), Opera, Internet Explorer, AOL, OS X, OS 9, Pocket PC, OS/2, Irix, Solaris, or HP-UX for free.
Flash offers easy development of professional applications. Flash development is based mostly on a Graphical User Interface (GUI). Through the GUI, a developer can draw their application on the screen. Drawings can be converted to animations, buttons, and other features with the development environments menus and dialog boxes.
Competing methods of development, such as C++, Java or JavaScript, require technical knowledge of a special programming language and mathematics. A Flash applications GUI features are extremely limited compared to a programming language based project. To compensate for this weakness, Macromedia added Action Scripts to Flash.
Action Scripts are a sort of programming language, but there are only a few commands to learn, and they are selected off a menu. Action Scripting is equivalent to programming a graphing calculator with BASIC; it should not take you more than a few days to learn, if you have the patience to read boring instructions.
While Flash can be developed with very few Action Scripts, the scripts add to the interactivity of the application. Most web sites using Flash do not use Action Scripts intensively, with the exception of games. Flash can also work with JavaScript.
Enhancements:
- The program can now export simple objects like images, lines, rectangles, ovals (ellipses), and text.
- The "locate" command is used to find the TrueType font files needed for text.

dsflasher is a utility to flash Dallas (Maxim) DS89C450 microcontrollers using a ROM loader.

Usage:

dsflasher -f [input filename] -p [serial port]

Simple Flash Menu allows fast constructing nested menus for html pages (like on left side of this page), simply by editing xml file. No, dont afraid, xml knowledge isnt required, look on example and make similar.
This done with macromedia flash, you must place on server flash script which will analyze xml file and draw menus depending on its contest (about 10KB) and xml file or multiple xml files describing your menus. Nothing more must be done.
Now available two versions: one - very small without any decorations, and a bit larger with simple menu decorations. You can choose depending on your needs.
Requirements: any browser with Macromedia Flash Player 5 or Macromdia Flash Player 6 (MX) plugin. Wouldnt work with Flash Player 4 and earliers.
Tested in Internet Explorer 6.0, 6.0 SP1; Mozilla 0.9.8 - 1.2b (aka Netscape 6-7); Netscape 4.78; Opera 6.0 - 6.0.4, 7.0b1 in Linux and Windows enviroments.
Options:
- menu_file xml file load menu from

Stopmotion is a free application for creating stop-motion animation movies. The users will be able to create stop-motions from pictures imported from a camera or from the harddrive, add sound effects and export the animation to different video formats such as mpeg or avi.

Stopmotion creates stop motion animations by combining images imported from a v4l (or similar) device with sound.

Installation:

If you run Debian the easiest way to install this program is to add this line to your sources.list file:

deb http://www.skolelinux.no/~bjoern/debian/ unstable main

Then run apt-get update and apt-get install stopmotion.

If you do not run Debian you have to compile the program from source. We have not focused on getting the configure script as good as it should be; you will not get any error message if you do not have the necessary libraries installed. This will hopefully be fixed later.
