About Gordon...

Gordon was started by Raymond Penners. The goal of the Gordon project is to provide a collection of small tools that can be used to create/manipulate Macromedia Flash movies. Creating a full-fledged GUI based Flash authoring tool is (at least for now) not one of the goals.

Flash Gordon: Where am I?
Princess Aura: Back from the dead. I've saved you.
Flash Gordon: My God! How?
Princess Aura: By magic, of course. With a kiss, because I like you.

Gordon consists of:

libsvgtoswf
