Hi Billy,
first of all, great idea, thanks for sharing. You say you're going to
bundle the Flex compiler and your software into a GPL-ed product. As
far as I know the GPL and MPL are incompatible, but I'm not sure what
the implications are, so I hope you, or anyone on this list, can
explain to me what this means in practice. Unfortunately the adobe
open source site doesn't say much about this, except from 'contact a
lawyer', but I think it's an important thing to understand..
Cheers,
Thijs

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
