Hi,

I wonder if it possible it is possible to make a swf file ? Of course, under suse linux. (I know it’s possible from windows)

A wine in the program that creates those swf’s files will work ?

I’m looking for a solution to make swf file (flash media) without using windows. Is this possible ?

thanks!

There are some suggestions here:

Open-souce Flash Creator - Linux Forums

I don’t think there is something as complex as the Adobe tools though.

If you’re just trying to make simple animated swf files, then ffmpeg can assist with the conversion. However, I’m assuming you’ll want interactive stuff too. Some interesting ideas and apps discussed here:

Debian User Forums • View topic - How to make SWF flash movies on a Debian box (tested in Etch

BTW, Flash For Linux (f4l) is available for openSUSE (but I’m not familiar with its capabilities):

Index of /repositories/KDE:/Community/openSUSE_11.2

OpenOffice Impress has an option to export as swf.

@OP: BTW, it would help if you explain what you want the SWF file to do. Normally people associated SWF with videos but Actionscript is a full-fledged client-side language and does things like animation, picture galleries, screen gadgets, and so forth. If you just want to play a video, there are ready-made SWF objects you can get off the Net for this.

These recomendations are great!

Anyway any other recomendation will be wellcome (I’m trying now with OpenOfiice Impress)

For best results your going to be looking at windows programs under wine. There are some native linux programs for editing swf files but unfortunately due to the current nature of flash most of them are still fairly basic compared to their closed-source counterparts. Most of the projects for swf editors on linux are listed on this page.
