Free swf software for linux

Swfdec is a library for rendering Flash animations and games. swfdec project was originally designed as a basis library for creating Flash plugins for GStreamer, but it is a fully standalone library which only use the libart library for drawing. Swfdec is released under the LGPL.

Included with swfdec is Gtk+-based application called swf_play and a Mozilla plug-in that uses swf_play to display SWF animations in a browser window.

FLV::ToSWF is a Perl module to convert an FLV file into a SWF file.

SYNOPSIS

use FLV::ToSwf;
my $converter = FLV::ToSWF->new();
$converter->parse_flv($flv_filename);
$converter->save($swf_filename);
See also flv2swf.

Transcodes FLV files into SWF files. See the flv2swf command-line program for a nice interface and a detailed list of caveats and limitations.

SWF::Builder::ActionScript is a SWF ActionScript object.

SYNOPSIS

$mc->frame_action(1)->compile( on(KeyPress, )->compile(move_mc(-5));
$mc_i->on(KeyPress, )->compile(move_mc(5));
$mc_i->on(EnterFrame)->r_rotate(15);

SWF::Builder::Character::Sound is a SWF Sound character.

SYNOPSIS

my $sound = $mc->new_sound( ring.mp3 );
$sound->play;

This module creates SWF sound characters from MP3 or raw Microsoft WAV files.

$sound = $mc->new_sound( $filename )

loads a sound file and returns a new sound character. It supports only MP3 now.

$sound->play( [ %options ] )

plays the sound.

Options:

MovieClip => $mc, Frame => $frame

MovieClip(MC) is a parent movie clip on which the sound is played. If MC is not set, the sound is played on the movie clip in which it is defined. Frame is the frame number on which the sound is played.

Multiple => 0/1

avoids/allows multiple playing. If 0, dont start the sound if already playing.

Loop => $count

sets the loop count.

In => $in_msec, Out => $out_msec

In sets the beginning point of the sound and Out sets the last in milliseconds.

Envelope => [ $msec1, $volumelevel1, $msec2, $volumelevel2, ... ]

sets the sound envelope. Volume level is set to $volumelevel1 at $msec1, and $volumelevel2 at $msec2, ... Volume level can take a number from 0 to 32768, or a reference to the array of volume levels of left and right channels.

$sound->stop( [ MovieClip => $mc, Frame => $frame ] )

stops playing the sound. It can take MovieClip and Frame options as same as the play method.

$sound->start_streaming( [ MovieClip => $mc, Frame => $frame ] )

starts the streaming sound, which synchronizes with the movie timeline. It can take MovieClip and Frame options as same as the play method.

$sound->Latency( $msec )

sets the sound latency in milliseconds.

MTASC is the first ActionScript 2 Open Source free compiler.
MTASC project can compile large number of .as class files in a very short time and generate directly the corresponding SWF bytecode without relying on Macromedia Flash or other tools.
You can download it now and please read the comparison between MTASC and Macromedia compiler that is sold with Flash. If its your first time using MTASC, please read how to install and use MTASC.
INSTALL
Theses install notes are for windows user unfamiliar with commandline tools usage.
First download the MTASC package corresponding to your system and install/unzip somewhere on your computer. Then add the path of the installed executable to your PATH environment variable (see http://www.chem.gla.ac.uk/~louis/software/faq/q1.html if you dont kwnow how to do).
For example if youve installed into c:program filesmtasc you might add c:progra~1mtasc to your PATH. Now the executable is accessible everywhere. You can then write a compile.bat file containing the following text :
mtasc.exe YourFiles.as... -swf YourProject.swf
pause
Put the compile.bat file with your source files and run it when you want to compile.
USAGE
MTASC is a commandline compiler, it can then be better integrated into [Your favorite editor] by configuring it to compile .as files with MTASC. The general usage of mtasc tool is : mtasc (your .as class files) -swf (you project swf). Please note that if you have two classes Point and Line with Line.as using Point for its code, you dont need to ask MTASC to compile Point.as when compiling Line.as since it will do it automatically for you. Then if you want to include the minimal set of classes needed by your program to run, you can simply compile using mtasc Main.as where Main.as is your "main" class, the entry point of your program (if you have any).
Now that you know how to call MTASC, lets have a look at how it works : MTASC takes the SWF file specified with the -swf flag, compile all .as specified files, and update the SWF file by replacing all classes that are present inside it by the newly compiled classes. To use MTASC instead of Macromedia Flash Compiler, its simple. Open your project and publish it normally (for example project.swf). Now run MTASC using the published SWF as input : mtasc (your as files) -swf project.swf. This will compile your classes and update the SWF that you can use for your website. Please note that MTASC add the compiled classes to the SWF in replacement of ALL classes compiled by Flash.
If you have an error such as class not found, file not found, or class name mistake, you should use the -cp flag in order to add a ClassPath to MTASC (that means a directory where it will look for .as files). For example if your classes are in the /code directory, do not call mtasc code/Hello.as because it will look for the class code.Hello (with package code), but call instead mtasc -cp code Hello.as.
Additional arguments are the following :
-swf file : specify input SWF which contains assets.
-cp path : add a directory path to the ClassPath : this is the list of directories that MTASC will use to look for .as files. You can use several times -cp to add several directories.
-main : will automaticaly call static function main once all classes are registered.
-header width:height:fps:bgcolor : does not load a SWF, instead create a new one containing only compiled code and using provided header informations. bgcolor is optional and should be 6 digits hexadecimal value.
-mx : use precompiled MX classes (see section on V2 components below).
Some other arguments, for advanced users :
-version n : specify SWF version : 6 to generate Player 6r89 compatible SWF or 8 to access Flash8 features.
-v : activate verbose mode, printing some additional informations about compiling process.
-out file : change output swf file.
-msvc : use Microsoft Visual Studio errors style formating install of Java style (for file names and lines number).
-strict : will use strict compilation mode which require that all variables are explicitely typed.
-exclude file : exclude code generation of classes listed in specified file (format is one full class path per line).
-trace function : specify a custom trace function. (see Trace Facilities), or no disable all the traces.
-keep : keep AS2 classes compiled by MCC into the SWF (this could cause some classes to be present two times if also compiled with MTASC).
-frame f : will export AS2 classes into target frame of swf.
-pack path : compile all the files contained in specified package - not recursively (eg to compile files in c:flashcodemyapp do mtasc -cp c:flashcode -pack my/app).
-group : will merge classes into one single clip (this will reduce SWF size but might cause some problems if youre using -keep or -mx).
Enhancements:
- Several small fixes.
- Strongly typed arrays have been added.

Tubesock is a GTK/GNOME swf player released under the GPL. Currently the code right now is parsing SWF files, and can dump the contents, and can display some stuff.

Tubesock is written 100% in c, and depends on glib2 and gtk2.

Installation

./configure
make
cd src/tubesock
./tubesock PATH_TO_SWF_FILE.swf

FlowPlayer project is a video player for Flash Video in FLV format. The UI is clean and simple.
The player is easy to configure and embed into your home page, site, or blog.
FlowPlayer.swf is a player that is ready to be used out-of-the box. FlowPlayer.html is an example of Web page that uses it. The name of the video file to be loaded by the player is specified in html page in the < object > tags flashvars attribute. This attribute is there in two places (both in < objec t> and < embed > tags) to maximize the number of supported Web browsers.
By default, the player loads the video file from the same location as it loads FlowPlayer.swf. The name of this variable is videoFile and the value should be the name of the video file with or without an extension.
There is also a way to specify a complete URL. This is done using the baseURL variable. When this mechanism is used the video files and FlowPlayer.swf may reside in different locations within the Web server or even in different servers.
autoPlay variable is used to specify whether playback should start immediately when the player has been loaded into the Web browser. Legal values for this parameter are true and false.
Please refer to FlowPlayer.html for descriptions of all HTML parameters used to control the player.
Enhancements:
- New FlowPlayer Skinning Kit to make skinning the player better than ever before.
- There is a new package in the downloads for this.
- Added all dependencies to the source distribution package and now its easier for new developers to start hacking.
- Fixes: VideoHeight does not have any effect in full screen mode any more, now resizes to fit the full area.
- Configured progress bar, buffering bar etc. colors were ignored and now work as espected.
