Some days ago i found via the
Inkscape Extension Repository an
Flash SWF exporter. But it didn't work because it was outdated. So i dive into the code and with some help i get it working again. Here is an example of the
Speed Dreams logo icon i made in Inkscape and the exported SWF:

This is a simple Flash SWF export via the PDF format. It requires
SWFTools. It may failes with complex graphics or export them as images. For improved results try always the newest version of Inkscape and SWFTools:
* Download the archive
inkscape_export_flash_swf_2011.zip.zip* Install SWFTools (a PPA with up-to-date packages are
here)
* As root copy the files of the archive to /usr/share/inkscape/extensions
* Launch Inkscape and create or open a drawing
* Launch Inkscape and create or open a drawing
* At "Save as" dialogue you will find "Flash SWF" at the file types dropdown menu
* If you like to have thumbnails of Flash *.swf files and like to view them without a browser
then install the packages "swfdec" and "gnome-swfdec" too.

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.

I updated my Flash SWF Export for GIMP again. This time i added animation support. Any layer of an GIMP image will be exported as a frame of an Flash SWF animation (not a Flash Video FLV).
Later i will add support for Windows too.

Yesterday i discovered a very interesting link that is may the beginning of something cool:
Shockweaver. Shockweaver Alpha 0.1 is the beginning of a Linux IDE for Flash based on
SWFtools. A Deb package for Ubuntu or Debian is available too.
The website is in portuguese only so it's hard to find how it work. At the moment only simple
Actionscript functions are available. I have to explore it more. Hopefully some more developers would help to make it strong

One of most feature requests of Linux users about Flash was a 64bit Flash Player,
Adobe make it now happend. This is the first 64bit Flash Player at all, a version for Mac OS X and Windows will follow later. But it isn't final yet, some functionality is still missing: camera, microphone, fullscreen via OpenGL.
The 64bit Flash Player isn't faster then the 32bit. For more performance
Tinic Uro, a Adobe Flash developer, recommended to disable the nspluginwrapper. Bugs of the 64bit Flash Player can be reported at
Adobe Bugs.

Adobe published now the
final Flash Player 10. This version brings a lot of improvements to the Linux platform. Now the Linux Flash Player has the same features as on any other platform. For more details check out the
feature page.
Best of all Adobe provides now
a Deb archive for Ubuntu 8.04 but they use their own file structure and it seems there is no 64bit build again
To enjoy Flash Player 10 without smashing your Ubuntu:- extract the Deb archive (do not install it)
- extract the data.tar.gz
- copy as root the file "install_flash_player_10_linux/usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so" to "/usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree"

Adobe is working on an update for its Flash player 9 that will bring DRM to Flash. Since the popularity of Flash video and the support for H.264 the music and film industry like to get back control of the streamed content. This step could stop the development of
Gnash and
SWFdec, two alternatives to Adobes Flash player, too.

Adobe releases the third update of the Flash plugin. This Update includes a lot of new features like support for H.264 video and the High Efficiency AAC (HE-AAC) audio codec. This pushes Flash to HD quality and allowing you to play back existing MP4, M4A, MOV, MP4V, 3GP, and 3G2 content. Many performance improvements were made too.
Installing the new version from the
Tar binary archive is easy, just copy the "libflashplayer.so" as root to "/usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree" (check the correct permissons).
