Hello,

any ideas of how I can make something similar to this?

I like the idea but am not sure where to start.

i took a look at the source code and it is done in flash (it has a .swf extension). To make a flash movie you need to use adobe flash. http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/. If you can you should try and get the older version (CS2) since it currently works in wine. CS3 shouldnt be far off.

I figured it was flash. My problem is that I am a linux user so I can't get flash on my system. Does anyone know of a powerful alternative to flash? openlaszlo looks promising.

currently there isnt anything really close. Adobe recently open up the specifications i believe but there hasnt been enough time for the open source clones to come out. Currently your best option is CS2 in wine.
