Edit: This page is no longer being updated as I have left the BBC. I will still be developing the SMX component library and using it for building applications, but it remains to be seen if any will be released as open source. In the meantime, SMX will retain it’s MPL triple license and any new info will be held and updated from this page

This section is a overview of all currently running and completed BBC open source projects using Flash. Currently, BBC News Interactive is moving towards an open source development model for the Flash projects that will benefit developers, and we are actively encouraging other BBC departments to get involved in the OSFlash community.

BBC OSFlash uses www.cvsdude.com to manage it’s open source Flash projects. More information on each project can be seen by clicking on the wiki links below, and each project’s source can be checked out of the repository by using the SVN links. Where available, there are also links to BBC Website pages that contain the finished Flash content.

These are self contained Flash applications that can be guides, games, widgets, tools etc. They are created for a single purpose and are generally re-usable with alternative content, but not built to be extensible.

In Development

Player Rater: SVN

Completed

Interactive Snowboard Guide: SVN BBC Page

Squad Selector: SVN BBC Player BBC Editor

2012 olympic guide:SVN BBC Page

These generally start as resources built for a specific need in a project that are subsequently integrated into many projects because of some in-demand feature(s). They are therefore adaptable and extensible, and concentrate on generic application use.

In Development
