Free animation software? (replacement for Flash MX)

5

0

a few years ago, I use to love to make animations with Flash MX. Well, now I have the itch to make some animations but I no longer use Windows(now use OpenBSD) and also I've lost my copy of Flash somewhere.. (and no, I don't want to spend a ton of money to buy a new copy)

So now I'm looking for something capable of creating animations that is free and open source. Does anyone know of such a program?

You could always use blender to render 3d animations. Though this will take a fair amount of time to set up as well as to render. www.blender.org

Not really a Flash replacement at all. Flash is 2D. – Sasha Chedygov – 2010-03-03T03:42:02.803
