How to generate a swf from php

[jhoekstra]

Hello,

I have the next problem:

I try to generate a SWF from a php script. The function I use is:

swf_definebitmap(1,"myfile.gif");
swf_placeobject(1,10);

The SWF is generated, but when I open the swf, no picture is showing up....

I devined the enviorment variable SWFBIN to point to the location of "bin/imgtofi" and "bin/pstoff" .

Can anyone help?

I'm not a flash programmer but somebody told me you have to convert images to movies first before you can dynamically load them into other flash movies.
there's an exprensive macromedia tool for that but I heard it's possible to program that by oneself ... but expert stuff, surely.

hope this was helpful 😉
