Flash 4 Linux

#1 Post by phantrongnghia »

Hi !
For a long time, i found this tool, it is good for design Macromedia Flash in Linux
It is f4l (Flash for Linux)
I made the dotpups:

f4l.pup - 0.36MB

It is very small, and worked on my system
But the text in toolbar display very small:

I do not know why ? We need to install gtk-2.8 ?

Thanks

I did not try it myself yet, but here is a mirror:
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Shockwave/f4l.pup (380 kb).

Lobster, you must install Qt-3.3.4 with Pupget.
In megapup Qt is already included.

you can set the fontsize maybe like this:
Install with Pupget "scribus".
In the options, choose a font and colors you like.
This will update /root/.qt/qtrc I think, these settings then should be available in other QT-applications like f4l, too.

If one had wine installed + Flash for windows

Could'nt you symlink to that ?
Heaven is on the way, until then let's get the truth out!

/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6
The dotpup from GuestToo (dotpup-downloader) installs to /root/my-applications/lib.

But f4l uses the one in /usr/lib

So try this:
edit
/usr/local/f4l/run-f4l

Add 1 line, so that it looks like this:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/root/my-applications/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

f4l&
This should force it to use libstdc++ from GuestToo, that works for me.


Or try this dotpup, it includes this lib in a subfolder and uses it with the same method:

klh, do you mean to use the windows-flash in Linux-browsers?
No, this does not work.
The new beta of crossover (commercial wine) uses a "wrapper" that can use Flash 9 from crossover in Linux-browsers.
But I was not able to get crossover working, so no success playing around with it.
The beta is time-limited to 60 days.

The only way I got flash 9 working is by using a windows-webbrowser (Opera 9):

Thanks, that worked.

But there doesn't seem to be much functionality. As many times as I try to create a new keyframe, it won't let me do it. Also, a lot of other features don't seem to work either. It seems pretty much useless. Anyone else having that problem?

It's a shame, because I'd actually like to be able to use this to create some flash animations and web pages.

Well I found out F4L is no longer in development, because of some copyright issues. The project is now UIRA.

m'kay...

So, I'm going to try this one out...

If it doesn't work straight up I'll do my usual standard Program-install routine, which means scream, curse, threaten my machine until the neighbors call the police...

..or just go to sleep and try again in the morning.

Meanwhile, is there another dotpup or a pet similar in function?

I have the drawswf installed, but it won't open this file I'm enjoying, obviously created on a certain non-operating system called sindows or something similar, the one put out by Gill Bates.

The format is Flash, runs in xine and all its many frontends, file extension is ".flv"

thus drawswf won't open it, says "invalid or old file type"

Basically what I want to do is take the soundtrack off it and use a .wav or mp3 soundtrack of my own choosing instead.

There's one application called OpenMovie with a tonne of functionality but it would also, according to the tales of woe anecdotes from other users, on this particular Lowly Miserable Low Memory i686 machine, Simply eat my system for breakfast.

Kind of a resource hog in other words.
I'm searching now for a pup or pet of that as well.

So any ideas as to a low-resource-intensive application doing simple video editing for that format would be what I would want.

Other than that, it's good to see y'all again.
