Flame Project is an IDE that enables the creation of Flash and Animated SVG files.
One of the project's short-term goals is to provide a complete authoring solution for users, and the team is making great progress towards a first release. At its core, Flame Project is similar to Macromedia Captivate but with a great emphasis on the support for Animated SVG.
Compared to Flash, Animated SVG seems to have overcome some serious design limitations, making it highly suitable for comprehensive eLearning. Looking towards the long term, Flame Project aims to offer both a complete authoring solution, akin to the Macromedia Flash IDE, as well as components for server-side communication.
To get started with Flame Project, users will need the GTK+ version 2.8.x. With the latest release, the software has undergone significant usability improvements which are highly recommended to check out. Plus, Flame Project now produces reasonable swf. files.
In summary, Flame Project is the perfect software for users looking to create visually impressive and highly effective eLearning content. Its user-friendly interface, coupled with its support for Animated SVG, makes it an excellent choice for any educator or trainer.
