Where can I get flash-based mindmapping software?

Question by The Aaron: Where can I get flash-based mindmapping software?
Is there anywhere I can download (preferably for free) software that allows me to create mindmaps similar to this one: http://www.rubenswieringa.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/interactivemindmap/
without using any source code or programming it from scratch?

Thanks in advance.

You are certain about it being flash-based? There is a program called Freemind but is written in Java. Here is a link of 0.9 RC6 of it which also has Java installer embedded.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/freemind/files/freemind-unstable/0.9.0_RC6/FreeMind-Windows-Installer-0.9.0_RC_6-max-java-installer-embedded.exe/download

I gave you a link to an RC version because 0.9 is much better than 0.8 of the software.

Know better? Leave your own answer in the comments!

XMind – Social Brainstorming and Mind Mapping

XMind Portable is the lightweight version of XMind, open source software that can create, manage and share "concept maps" quickly.

Ergonomic and well developed, XMind helps you build your organization, single handedly or with the proposed models. The interface is filled with clear patterns and beautiful. You can also customize your plan to organize your ideas as you wish. Very complete in all aspects, XMind supports all types of media: images, notes, files or hyperlinks.

In an interface both simple and beautiful, you can open multiple charts simultaneously. A sidebar shows you all the frames (bubbles, rectangles …) available, you simply drag and drop in the main window. Compatible with other project management software , you can rework your concept maps on MindManager and FreeMind or simply export as text, image, or HTML.

The real plus of XMind is to provide a tool for advanced sharing. If you have Internet access, you can directly access from the interface, look for ideas or images on Google and publish your "concept maps" on your site (after you open a user account) through the built in exporter.

Aesthetics are excellent with free XMind which is a handy utility that lets you organize your projects efficiently and share them online.
