Using PHP to write to .swf files

Question

Hi, I was wondering how to basically edit a .swf file using php, to change a single variable or to change more. How would I go about doing this? Is there a way to edit it without knowing machine code?

If there is an example of how to do this, where can I find it?

Thanks!

Or, if there is an easier way to go about doing this, please let me know!

Answer 1

With Actionscript, it's very simple to load external data: XML and JSON are two standardized ways to do it, and both are easily generated by PHP. What exactly are you trying to do?

Answer 2

take a look at libming

php documentation at http://docs.php.net/manual/en/book.ming.php

Answer 3

check out the SWF-libary in php

Answer 4

Instead of thinking how to generate swf files, do the opposite and let the internal behavior depend on external logic in a php script. This way you never need to (re)compile your swf.
