I reported in one of my last posts about the updated SWFtools 0.9 and the new AS3Compile standalone ActionScript 3.0 compiler. You can get the flavor of it very easy now by installing the SWFtools 0.9 package of the upcoming Ubuntu Karmic. My Flash SWF Export for Gimp requires this package too.

SWFtools 0.9 - now with ActionScript Compiler

, , , ...

The SWFtools, basis of various other Flash tools and my SWF Exporter for GIMP, are now available in version 0.9. Besides improvement of existing tools the developers added a new tool calles AS3Compile. AS3Compile is a standalone ActionScript 3.0 compiler that is mostly compatible with Adobe Flex. This will open a new chapter of Flash development on Linux.
