I wanted to create web based slideshow and audio media presentations and was 
disappointed by two PHP function sets.  I would love to hear of any others that might 
be available.
 
Tried MING, and discovered that there were at least 3 different versions (all numbered 
version 0.2a) that were incompatible with each other depending on where I installed my 
code.
  Example: 
 
   function swfbitmap 
       1). would in one case accept a string containing image.
       2). in a second case accepted a string containing a file name but not the bitmap
       3). and in a third case only accepted a file handle (returned from fopen) of 
the file containing the bit map and not just the filename.
 
I then tried the SWFlib functions available with PHP and discovered that it is no 
longer supported, and that source is unavailable. (one reason that a version for the 
windows platform is unavailable).  This also means that keeping up with the latest 
shockwave reader features is not possible (which bothers me more).
 
Are there any options I have overlooked?
 
thanks in advance,
 
Warren Vail
