Hello All, I'm Billy and I am a Masters Student in Systems Dynamics. I have begun development on an Open Source Flash IDE with the primary goal of being able to use it to create online interactive learning environments for server based single or multi user dynamic simulation models without writing code (be it AS3 or C or whatever) into the IDE. I have been working on this project now for a little over a month and I have produced a tool that I think is of good value to the OSFlash community. You can learn more about my tool below or at my projects Trac site ( http://dialect.openmodeling.net/wiki/).
The name of my tool is Open Dialect which stands for Dynamic Inter-Active Learning Environment Creation Tool, but for many of you I suspect that you will be more interested in its ability as a (soon to be operating system independent) Flash IDE replacement. The front end of Open Dialect is written in C#, using native WindowsForms, which I plan on changing to GTK+ and a Flex backend. Since Adobe has very kindly open sourced the Flex project I can package their command line compiler with my tool, which means you get one piece of software to layout Flash movies or applications (whichever you prefer) and produce SWF's from. I am e-mailing you all to spread the news of this softwares first release which is downloadable off of the Trac site at http://dialect.openmodeling.net/downloads. I please ask you to download it and try it out. If you find any bugs please add a ticket for them on the Trac site and I will be glad to work on them just as soon as I can. If you are interested in an example output of Open Dialect check out www.t21northamerica.com/T21NorthAmerica.html for an example of an Open Dialect produced swf running a simulation model remotely on a sever and dynamically displaying the results that of that model. Thanks for your time Billy Open Dialect Developer - http://dialect.openmodeling.net/wiki
