F4L or Flash 4 Linux is an open source application recently in development for Linux intending to be an alternative to Macromedia Flash, a popular application for creating on-line and off-line media entertainment. The F4L project has halted development persuent to copyright issues regarding the "Flash" product name and other trademark oriented issues. F4L has transitioned the ambitous open source plain by resurrecting the UIRA project. Development plans include authoring capacity for 2D animation, and tweening, as-well-as output to the .swf and .fla file formats. Flash 4 Linux has recently become UIRA. Open source refers to projects that are open to the public and which draw on other projects that are freely available to the general public. ...

The project is being lead by a Turkish University Student, at the time of inception, by the name of Özkan Pakdil, who wanted to create a unique project for school. Over time, what had started as a simple project evolved into a full fledged application that was capable of authoring 2D animation and output publishing of SWF files. The application layout is very similar to Adobe Systems' Macromedia Flash. UIRA hopes that being able to output in the .swf will become a realistic choice and competent alternative to Flash. Uira aims to provide their product, in accordance to the Open-Source Initiative, as a free project in the vein of Flash MX content authoring for the near future.
