Building Flash Movie Dynamicaly with Jpgs/png

Question

I would like to create a flash movie dynamically with jpgs and other data on server. Is there any server side software that does this?

Answer 1

PHP comes with the Ming library. It's fairly basic, but it should do what you need (create a series of SWFBitmap objects, adding each one to a new frame of a SWFMovie.

Answer 2

See swftools. Here is an example:

$ jpeg2swf -o movie.swf -3 1 -X 640 -Y 480 -f -z *.jpg

to create a movie out of all the JPEG files in the directory.

Another option is to use the Perl module SWF::Builder.
