The brilliant open source 3d package [blender along with other open source apps like [URL=“http://www.inkscape.org/”]Inkscape and [URL=“http://www.gimp.org/”]GIMP](http://www.blender.org/) were the tools used to create the latest open source movie from the team that made Elephants Dream. The new movie was just released online - and the cool thing about open source movies is - you can download all the project files to see how the animators did it! Called “Big Buck Bunny” - it’s about a, well, big bunny…well, obviously more than just that, watch it and find out 😉 The project also resulted in numerous advancements in blender’s capabilities, such as improved hair/fur [Check it out Here!](http://www.bigbuckbunny.org/) ( PS Mods sorry if I made a booboo posting this in Computers/Tech too, I’m just an open source fan-boy who wants to get as much attention for projects like blender as possible 😉 ) ---

In my opinion, open source doesn’t mean “free”. It means you should try to contribute if you use it. Be that contributing with expertise to the community, help root out bugs, donate or in general try to help out the overall project. But that’s my opinion. And that’s also why I only use 2 open source projects. ---

It means that you can view and modify the code, but depending on the [**license**](http://www.koders.com/info.aspx?c=licenseinfo) of the app you can use/sell/distribute it with a stipulated limitations. ---

Be that contributing with expertise to the community, help root out bugs, donate or in general try to help out the overall project. I agree. I try and help by reporting bugs, and also by spreading the word to others 🙂 Maybe one day I’ll get good enough with programming to help out, that would be great too. @Loyx - Yes I’m an FL addict, FL8 rocks! @Templarian - Ive got FlashDevelop but never got round to using it - will try it out soon 😃 ---

You’ll still want to use Flash for compiling, but FD is a top-notch program for coding. For designing library assets Flash is still pretty much essential. ---

Just out of curiosity - is there an open source solution for creating swfs/animations - the graphical side I mean? ---

There’s no open source replacement for the Flash interface as far as I know, only the code. ---
