Ming is a C library for generating SWF ("Flash") format movies, with PHP module code that wraps all of the functions into handy PHP objects.

Now includes support for: shapes, morphs, sprites, actions (compiled from c-like code, much easier than digging through a dozen dialogs just to write a line of code..), buttons (type 1), streaming mp3, jpeg bitmaps, text, and animation.

And it's free, as in free speech and free beer. It's released under the LGPL license, so you can do anything you want with it as long as changes you make to the library itself are sent back to the author.

Enjoy!
