Movies with Ming
What is Ming?
Ming is a open-source (LGPL) C library which writes SWF ("Flash")
movies. Ming supports almost all of Flash 4's features, including:
shapes, gradients, bitmaps (pngs and jpegs), morphs ("shape tweens"),
text, buttons, actions, sprites ("movie clips"), streaming mp3 audio,
and color transforms. The only thing that's missing is sound events.
Ming is available from:
ming.sourceforge.net
Installation
Ming is best installed as module for PHP.
Installation Source:
http://ming.sourceforge.net/install.html
Download php_ming.so.gz,
uncompress it and copy it to your php modules directory
(you can find your php module directory by running php-config
--extension-dir).
Or add the path to the ming module in the php.ini file.
Now either just add 'extension=php_ming.so' to your php.ini file, or
put 'dl('php_ming.so');' at the head of all of your Ming scripts.
