About me
I am a student of Applied Mathematics and freelance programmer from Austria. In a whim, I just recently stumbled upon the OSFlash community, with no prior Flash experience to speak of. Even as a rather experienced programmer, I found the learning curve for getting started with developing Flash using exclusively open source tools extremely steep, but after hours of experimenting, searching, reading other people’s code and just plain fumbling around I got the whole thing to work. In fact, that was my main motivation for signing up with this place: I want to help people master these initial difficulties quicker than I did.
Tools
I do not have the proprietary Macromedia Flash application, which made getting started in the world of Flash rather difficult. Still, with the great tools the open source community provides, a lot is possible without spending a single cent. MTASC and swfmill are my main tools for developing Flash movies right now. As an editor, I use SE|PY (http://www.sephiroth.it/python/sepy.php) (not the least reason being a certain affinity to the Python community 
). I tried FAMES = FAME + Swfmill as well, and I’m sure it’s a nice setup, but I couldn’t be bothered to download the latest Eclipse to get Flashout working.
