Open Source Flash

[FFighter]

There´s this feeling inside me that I just felt like sharing this with you...

I used to have no interest on Open Source efforts at all... but the Flash Platform got me into it... and each day I´m discovering new marvelous things made by people like us, that love the Flash technology and are willing to share their skills and knowledge with the rest of the world.

I just set up the FAME platform (Eclipse + ASDT + FlashOut and MTASC) and I must say I just loved it... the main reason I did that is that I could not stand the damn slow compilation times of the MM compiler! But the benefits go beyond the lighting-fast compilation times of MTASC compiler :)

If you would like to know more about this movement that is getting bigger each day, you could follow the following links:

www.osflash.org - Open Source Flash
http://www.actionscript.com/index.php/fw/1/towards-open-source-flash-development/ - Very interesting article about Open Source Flash development enviroment ... don´t forget to see the comments too ;)

Try it, you might like it and something may be useful for you... if you "fall in love" like I did, try contributing in any small way, you could make the difference!

Cheers,

Marcelo.

What does Macradobedia (sic) make of all this then? Are they not likely to table some sort of objection to this sort of thing?
