Free flash of genius software for linux

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.

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
- html_width horizontal space on html page conducted for menu
- html_height vertical space on html page conducted for menu
- window open all links in specified window
- jscript instead of opening window call specified javascript function with parameters: href,jattr,state. Only one window or jscript can be selected
- jattr optional javascript function argument
- state specifies current menu state (i.e. which submenus open and which closed)
- font_size labels font size for all menu items (default: 36)
- left_margin menu left margin (default: 5)
- up_margin menu upper margin (default: 5)
- submenu_indention indention of all submenu items in pixels (default: 20)
- menuitems_overlap specifies distance between menu items, positive numbers defines overlapping menu items (default: 0.2)
- decor enable decorations (only 1.1.x)
- decor_width decoration width
- decor_spacing white space between decoration and menu label
- send_state Boolean, specifies if state parameter (information which submenus open, which closed) by default must be sent to all pages, opened from menu, or not (default is to send).
- fg Specifies foreground color for inactive item (fg="#0000FF")
- afg Specifies foreground color for active item (afg="#FF0000")
- bg Specifies background color for inactive item (bg="255,128,0,100" - here 255 - red component, 128 - green component, 0 - blue component, 100 - alpha; "255,255,255,100" is visble white, "0,0,0,0" - invisible black)
- abg Specifies background color for active item (some as bg)
- dfg Specifies decoration color inactive item (some as bg)
- adfg Specifies decoration color for active item (some as bg)

Genius project is a calculator program similiar in some aspects to BC, Matlab or Maple. GEL is the name of its extention language (stands for "Genius Extension Language", clever huh?), in fact, a large part of the standard genius functions are written in GEL itself.
Main features:
- Arbitrary precision ints, multiple precision floats, using all the power of gmp.
- Rational numbers, stored as quotient and denominator.
- Complex numbers, stored in cartesian coordinates as usual.
- Automatic typing, no need to declare types of variables.
- Math-like-looking expressions, tries to be as much a what you mean is what Genius understands, up to a limit of course.
- Matrix calculations, with many related functions.
- Modular arithmetic, including inversions and modular arithmetic on matrices.
- A complete programming language. In fact large part of Genius standard library is written in GEL.
- Can output matrices in LaTeX, Troff (eqn) or MathML, this is I think a very cool feature that allows you to copy stuff directly from the Genius console to a document in LaTeX, troff or MathML. I in fact use this even to just enter matrices into LaTeX documents to begin with.
- 2D Function line plots, standard 2D graphs of up to 10 functions at once, with possibility to export to EPS or PNG
- 3D Function surface plots, with possibility to export to EPS or PNG
- GUI IDE where you can edit and run/test your programs
- A plugin interface, not yet really used.

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

Usage:

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

Flashblock is an extension for the Mozilla, Firefox, and Netscape browsers that takes a pessimistic approach to dealing with Macromedia Flash content on a webpage and blocks ALL Flash content from loading. The project leaves placeholders on the webpage that allow you to click to download and then view the Flash content.
Flashblock currently blocks the following content types:
- Macromedia Flash
- Macromedia Shockwave
- Macromedia Authorware

FlashUnity is a channel-based approach to an XML flash communications server and chat room.
Using the concept of channels and filters the FlashUnity server becomes extremely flexible and very easy to extend. Also, by using channels it is possible to run multiple modular functions within the same server.
Filters allow you to prefilter input for all channels or provide other functionality to all channels. This is a total rewrite of CyberSS, and the APIs and XML have multiple major changes. Each module, filter, and the chat client are in their own seperate PEAR package.
Enhancements:
- Room changes now work properly, and there are Uselist updates.
- This is the final release before 1.0.

GenieOS is the new name for Debian Pure distribution.

This project is not about creating an additional distribution, rather, a CD that will help newer users with installing a Debian proper system along with common plug-ins (DVD,
Flash, Java, and Mplayer).

The CD includes options to install from CD or net and to install either Gnome or KDE desktops. Please download a copy and give it a try!
