batch conversion jpg=>swf or gif=>swf?

[Trevor Hartman]

Hi,

Are there any programs out there that will do a batch conversion from JPG to SWF? Or GIF to SWF? Or both? Thanks! - Trevor

same problem here,
but in addition I need it to run under Linux or unix.
Any suggestion would be helpful.

I am also in the need of a conversion to .SWF with the
following requirements:

1) Occurs on the server, in real-time ("on-the-fly")
2) If the source file is .EPS or .PNG and it contains
a transparent background, then the transparency must
be maintained
3) Needs to handle .JPG files for conversion

Thanks

if anyone knows any that can do it on-the-fly or offline, either would work for me

SWF Convert Server - Both ISAPI and Active-X versions are available from http://www.livetronix.com . transparency is not currently maintained but it is very fast and has heaps of options for the conversion.

What is the level of difficulty to handle the transparency?
Why would you not handle the transparency?
I would think this would be an important feature to handle.

i did a url-2-png convert. because flash couldn't handle the table and button created in the html. i try a dynamic textbox. flash couldn't load table or button from html page. so i took a snapshoot. and then saved as png. but the quality is crap. i was wondering since png does objects . will the png > swf convert put the text in vector format.

Hi,

I currently don't have plans for a unix server version.

The transparency issue is in development. the difficulty off it is time. Like most developers my stack of projects continues to grow and at the moment adding that feature is not very high up it

But i'm sure i'll get it done sooner than later. I'm thinking that it mighten take to much to add a function that allows you to specify a RGB transparent color that could be a work around until the feature is fully completed. if anyones interested let me know.

not sure if theirs any program for converting html to swf but i know theirs programs for cenverting gif video to swf and one for extracting the swf out of the exe file might want to look for it at cnetdownloads.com or webattack.com or some other download sites

Hi,

any html-2-anything converter would probably include a layout engine that breaks down the html to more elementary operation (place image here, place a few words here and a few words below in the next line)
Generating swf at that point, using eihter ming or the sdk, should be comparatively easy

A jpeg to swf perl script which can run under unix or win32 is available at http://groups.google.com/groups?q=sw...mac.com&rnum=4

You'll need libjpeg if you want to use photoshop-exported jpegs, and it doesn't do gifs etc. Although it's fairly trivial to extend to support lossless formats using some netpbm malarky.
