Natural Docs is an open-source documentation generator with support for ActionScript. You document your code in a natural syntax that reads like plain English. Natural Docs then scans your code and builds high-quality HTML documentation from it.

Version 1.4 adds support for ActionScript 3, which was previously only available in development releases. Other new features include Javadoc compatibility and search support.

We’re pleased to announce a new release of PyAMF, a lightweight library that allows Flash and Python applications to communicate via Adobe’s ActionScript Message Format.

This release improves support for Google App Engine and introduces a new AMF gateway for GAE web applications. Aral Balkan announced he’s using PyAMF in the GAESWF project, which will be used to power the website of the online Singularity conference later this year.

You can try some of the PyAMF examples for GAE on our appspot like the Interactive Python shell example and the PUnit tool to run the PyAMF unit tests on GAE using a web interface. We also added an Ohloh API example.

The dependency on the fpconst module was removed for Python >= 2.5 to make it easier to deploy PyAMF applications on GAE and devices like smart phones. Unfortunately we had to keep it around for the Windows platform due to a float issue with that version of Python 2.5.

Check out the download page, installation instructions or the API documentation. Questions? First stop is the mailing list but we also hang out on IRC.

RubyIZUMI is an open source RTMP Server for Flash Video/Audio Streaming. It is written by (Pure) Ruby and it supports to broadcast MP4(H.264 + AAC).

UPDATE: In April, Adobe seems changed RTMP handshake method in their new Flash Player 9,0,124,0. So we can’t play a H.264 stream with RubyIZUMI and the latest Flash Player 9,0,124,0. At May 2, the guy Yaacov gave me a patch to fix this problem. (Thx Yaacov!) We can now play with the latest Flash Player. Use RubyIZUMI version 0.10 or later.

Designers, web designers and Flash coders, this is for you: SILEX will let you save time and grant stability to your applications. It is now really focussed on quality and productivity of websites and RIAs design. It addresses issues that web agencies and freelancers face on every projects.

Among the new features:

• html equivalent of your SILEX websites is generated on the fly - for search engines mostly but we will do our best to help disabled web suffers
• new components for the Flash IDE to create smarter Flash templates for your SILEX applications
• each page of each application has its own url: deep linking craziness! Useful to send a link to a specific page by e-mail.
• switch to Flash 8 from Flash 7 or vis versa without changing anything to your website. In Flash 7 mode, png and gif will not be visible. It’s important to know that some organizations and institutions still do not allow users to update their version of Flash player.
• tool boxes look more standard than the old players to edit the pages online (in the wysiwyg), you’ll feel like in an editing software
• no installation is needed, simply paste the files in a web accessible directory with php support and start making websites
• create application like you would create a page in a Wiki
• new keyboard shortcuts
• new component system: Flash components are almost directly compatible with SILEX so that you can put a Flash component in a SILEX page and use the toolboxes to manipulate it online. Just like you would use it inside Flash IDE
• contextual help system
• rss feeds are updated when you modify your website
