Flump converts Flash keyframe animations into texture atlases and XML or JSON that can be easily integrated into any scene graph-based 2D game engine. Flump runtime then combines and interpolates the atlas entries according to the XML/JSON file, resulting in a smooth animation. There are runtimes for a growing number of game engines, including Starling.

Animations created in Flump’s style will use far less texture memory per frame of animation than an equivalent flipbook animation, allowing for more expressive animations on mobile platforms.
