Generating static swf from dynamic content
Hello,
My movie currently loads dynamic text and images from the db using php, but I'd like to allow users to be able to download a STATIC version of their movie, with all of their db driven content intact, for use on external media.
Where do I begin? Is this done via actionscripting, external scripting or additional software?
Thanks in advance for answering this broad question...

Hi,
this is certainly not actionscript....
Depending on your needs, this could be external scripting or additional software.
Things you should look into:
www.fontimages.org.uk/flash/struc.html - sending structured data to flash. This describes, among others, a server script that compiles data (array and object initializers) and simple function calls into a movie by itself
swfaddvars item on www,fontimages.org.uk - uses a similar method to add variables to an existing movie
http://ming.sourceforge.net - the MING library allows to create complete movies from code alone. Ming is supported by php, but only few hosts actually offer it.
Simple samples: http://wolfgang.rnsmail.de/contour.p...ome+to+MING...

www.openswf.org - swf files explained to the bits and bytes
[i]swf analyzer[i] on www,fontimages.org.uk
freemovie (you will have to google for link and project status) - library similar to ming but all done in php, so does not depend on hosting company's goodwill

Musicman,
Thanks for the reply...I think this is out of my league (or it's 2 am, and I need sleep), I'm still confused on where to start...are there software packages/third party tools I could buy to 'automatically' generate swfs for me?
I just want a user to hit a button like "Create a CD" and have the system generate static version...can you explain more, or recommend someone to help me accomplish this?

Hi,
the only thing that did something like that was MM generator
Can you explain your needs a bit more detailed, and I will try to come up with a proposal.
