Like Flash in ubuntu

[isayev13]

Hi,

Does anyone know of an open source alternative to Flash that runs natively on Ubuntu.

It doesn't need to be as powerful as Macromedia Flash.

Thanks

An editor or a browser plugin to view flash? I think the flashplayer-mozilla package might be open source, but I'm not sure about that and it doesn't render Flash animations as well as the official one does.

(edit: as hikaricore points out below, it's true that there's basically no Linux flash editor. Nothing prominent, at least.)

I think they mean a media creator like flash but open source.
Currently I don't know of any such software myself, but it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.

There's f4l (flash 4 linux) which is a brazen copy of a slighty out-of-date copy of Macromedia Flash that's buggy as hell and only feature-complete in that it perfectly copies the Flash interface. That's it for now (I believe) although smaller programs and scripts to convert from various formats abound.

You can run the windows version with wine though
