Make SWF Writer For Linux

Update flash for linux using cvs Howto

F4L is available via anonymous cvs. Type the following to check out the latest development version from CVS:

FOR VERSION 0.2:

cvs -z9 -d:pserver:anonymous@f4l.cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/f4l co f4l-0.2
cd f4l-0.2
make

or try to use qmake or kdevelop.

FOR VERSION 0.1:

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@f4l.cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/f4l co f4l
cd f4l
first try autotools:

   ./configure
make
cd f4lm
./f4lm

if it does not work they dont work sometime :)

   qmake -project
qmake -o Makefile f4l.pro
make
./f4l

do not install this version use for testing.

Todo List

Animation ability should be added in this week.(first basic algorithm column mean one sec.)
With an Option dialog f4l's animation last frame numbers can be edited.
Support Action Scripts
Support Template System
test and test ...
finding developers :)

I cannot remember

Its been a long time I havenot read this code. I am working on this code about 2 day still can not remember a shit about it. anyway I should explain what I think now.

When I write f4l I did not know swf stuff actually I dont know all of them now too anyway. I create a CCanvas for all CTable white items(table cells) which has been inserted to timeline. its not the swf working style now I am cleaning that logic and from nowon f4l has just one canvas and we will put drawing objects on it. when we say play the object will be shown on that frame or not. and layers will tell the drawing object Z dimension. I mean before we draw anythin on f4l we should choose the layer first otherwise its Z dimension will be set default 1.

in debian libc giving headache

I checkout from cvs our new branch for looking code in debian. first problem was about Makefile I changed that
/usr/lib/qt3 to /usr/share/qt3
then f4l compiled but when I run it just gave a seg fault

(gdb) bt
#0 0x40993c2f in strlen () from /lib/libc.so.6
#1 0x40275d3c in qt_write_dib () from /usr/lib/libqt-mt.so.3

#5 0x080b82b0 in canview (this=0x837ceb8, canvas=0x831a120, parent=0x8319860, name=0x80cfd35 "Canvas viewer")

I heard about sf

in near future subversion will be supllied by sf :) thats a good news because I am using subversion at win32 and its quiet well I think. at least better then vss(virtual source safe).

when we r using that vss ide was working really slowly about sync things. anyway we develop better now. btw my boss is not happy about I am going late to office. he was so angry yesterday. hmm I should do something about it. maybe a poll :))

I found a job for 500$. I know that`s not much

but anyway I will work on that. btw muhasebeci which is my another project will published a national newspaper.. and I will have to write a win32 print thing for that project. and at the same time I will work on my daily job its written on asp.net and c#. I know ,its not a big thing for f4l but it means money. :)) I want to work on that projects too...

if u do have a patch dont hasitate to send me. I will lok for them in this 2 month I will be so full.

debian coodes ready to download :)

there is a problem with debain and QT. if you want to compile f4l under debain there would be a lot of errors actually I made it before but didnt publish a package for that. anyway someone did this is the address :

http://zvonsully.tk/ look download part.

I hope debian developers will look to this project and contact with me.

what is going on these days

Florian Delizy new name for f4l he is working really hard on analysis. You should chek his works.

http://www.unfreeze.net/gpl/f4l/uml_study.php

and I heard from him a project named as qflash you should check this out

http://www.etynos.org/qflash

maybe we can work togather I hope because it is important to be a team for this kind of big project.
