Ktoon: The $1 Open Source cross platform Adobe FLASH alternative.
KToon is a 2D Animation Toolkit designed by animators for animators, focused to the Cartoon Industry. This project is covered by the GPL License using G++, OpenGL and QT as programming resources from KDevelop as the development platform. By now, KToon is only available for Unix systems only
Ktoon is an animation package like Adobe’s Flash. It can even output .swf files and it’s only in .8 beta. The developers are looking for contributions of $1 to help pay for the development costs.
Intresting!
There have been non-Macromedia tools to create SWF since the format was openly published in 1998 via jd/adobe
