Liveswif - Free Alternative to Adobe Flash

January 1st, 2008

Adobe/Macromedia Flash is a commercial flash creator that most of you are already aware of. It costs hundreds of dollars and those web developers like me who can’t afford it normally go for warez downloads. There is a free/opensource alternative to adobe flash that is very useful for experienced flash programmers.

Liveswif is an opensource flash creator licensed under LGPL. According to their website, the original creator of this handy tool initially put it for sale for $40. Then, after a while he licensed it under LGPL and disappeared. Liveswif only supports flash 5, but it is worth saving 700 bucks. It supports Action script too.

Pros: Free, Supports scripts, Lightweight

Cons: Lacks some features, Supports only Flash 5

The full version of Liveswif can be downloaded by clicking the following link.
