This page is depracated and remains only for historic relevance and so old links won’t break. The “F” in FAME, FlashOut is not open source and thus the various “F” suites (namely FAME and FAMES) are not fully open source.

Instead, please see AMES which *is* a fully open source suite for creating Flash applications.

FAME stands for Flashout, ASDT, MTASC, Eclipse IDE. The term was coined by Jesse Warden in his blog post on April 23, 2005 after he worked through Carlos Rovira’s landmark Towards Open Source Flash Development article.

FAME is a step towards enabling fully open-source Flash development on the Eclipse platform. Other tools exist and are being developed that add on to the core FAME toolset to expand this vision further. This includes swfmill (the addition of which allows the creation of skeleton SWFs with libraries and makes the acronym FAMES = FAME + Swfmill)

Please see AMES.

To learn how to use setup and use FAME and FAMES = FAME + Swfmill, see the FAMES Tutorials section.
