Ajax Animator

Ajax animator is a web application made for creating animations. This project started out to try to be a web replacement for Adobe (formerly Macromedia) Flash. Flash is a proprietary technology that is used for many web applications and games...i.e. Youtube, linerider, and annoying ads that say you have won a free apple ipod. It has continued to mature but now is only for creating animations. It is very sexy, and shows some promise. Check out the Homepage (Blog) here, and the application here.

Ajax Animator v 0.20



Another app that is closely related to Adobe Flash is Liveswif. Liveswif was released as shareware with a (free) lite version, and was later released as freeware. The most recent and final release was Liveswif 2.2. The developers were not profiting so they stopped developing and gave the source to the public. Now the community is working on the first open source version of Liveswif, now called Openswif. This software is not actively worked on, but there is huge potential for it. Please help keep this project going liveswifers.org.
