====== Closed-Source Flash Tools ======

===== Guidelines for adding tools to this page =====

The tools listed here currently form an essential part of a workflow involving open source tools or are essential tools that do not currently have an open-source alternative. When adding a tool to this page, consider:

  - Does the tool have an open-source alternative? If so, do not list it (If it is important for some reason to mention the non-open source tool, do so within context on the page of the open-source alternative.)
  - Does the tool form part of a greater workflow that contains open-source tools and does that workflow become infeasible when you remove the tool?
  - Is the tool important or essential to Flash development? Is my reason for adding it here to help out the Flash community by making them aware of a useful tool?

Please note that non-open source tools should not have their own pages on the OSFlash wiki unless those pages offer open-source content for that tool.

Consider this page a wishlist. These are important tools for which it would be beneficial to have open source versions. Also, you may want to contact the author(s) to ask whether they would consider releasing them under an open source license.

Under no circumstances should this page be used by free/commercial software vendors to advertise their goods. 

The primary focus of this site is **not** to list free or commercial non-open source Flash tools or to advocate their use (our focus is on open source Flash projects.) 

**This page is a test. If it gets out of hand we may choose to remove it.**
