Free Flash Studio

Postby HwaRang777 » Wed Aug 24, 2005 6:04 pm

does anyone know where I can get a free, full version of a macromedia flash mx/studio thingy? a friend of mine told me to downlad it from a thing called limeware, but all of them won't work because my AVG Anti-Virus says that it has a virus. please help me

That's illegal, actually. If you want the software, you'll have to pay for it.

LimeWire is a P2P product, so what you'd be downloading is a pirated copy of Macromedia Flash. That would be bad. I'm not sure what to say about the virus bit, other than AVG may be programmed to complain about LimeWire being a *source* of viruses.

I'm sure there's an open-source alternative to Flash, or you might try something that can generate SVG files. I just don't know of any in the former category (I bought Flash MX and paid the cash, so ...).

Or, if you work for a company that does a lot of graphics stuff, theres a chance they might buy it for you (that's how i got mine)

well, is there a free alternative for making flash games/movies? or at least one that's less than $100?

I don't know of an open-source alternative (for all my knowledge is worth), but for about 100 you can get Swishmax. http://www.swishzone.com/ I've used it to make a few things, but ended up upgrading to Flash MX because I needed more power XD; Swish is much easier to learn, imho.

(in response to an interview question "Do you have a pet peeve having to do with this biz?")
People who write below their abilities in order to crank out tons of books and make a buck. Especially Christian authors who do that. Outsiders judge us for it, and make fun of us for it, and it makes Jesus look bad. We of all artists on earth should be the most concerned with doing our best possible work at all times. We of all people should write with all our hearts, as if writing for the Lord and not for men.
