Short: MING v0.2 - the SWF (Flash) producer tool! Author: ming@opaque.net Type: dev/gg Architecture: m68k-amigaos Uploaded: louise@louise.amiga.hu (LouiSe) Url: http://www.opaque.net/ming/ Ported by LouiSe more info and other AMIGA ports at: http://louise.amiga.hu ----------------------------------------- MING THE MODULE It's an SWF output library. And it's a PHP module. And so much more.. It comprises almost all of Flash 4's functionality; the only thing missing is sound support (although you can do mp3 streaming now). Specifically, it lets you create: shapes (including morphs), text, sprites (aka movie clips), buttons, and actions in flash movies. The goal for Ming is to abstract away all of the mundane specifics of the SWF file format. Ming also includes a PHP wrapper which wraps Ming objects in PHP objects. Pretty cool.. The python wrapper has been updated to mirror the functionality of the PHP interface, so you should be able to use the PHP documentation without getting terribly confused now. There's a perl XS wrapper now. But I haven't used it so I can't tell you much about it. The c++ wrapper is just one big header file. But it seems to work pretty well- check the examples directory. Ming is released under the LGPL. See file LICENSE for the gory details. -dave@opaque.net BUILDING and INSTALLING: no fancy autoconf nonsense here, just raw old-fashioned Makefiles. unpack the tarfile (which you've obviously already done) make for the PHP module: (should work with PHP-4.0.2 and up..) to build as a PHP module (.so file): make static cd php_ext make make install to build into the php source: mkdir /ext/ming cp php_ext/* /ext/ming cd ./buildconf ./configure --with-ming= build and install php as usual, restart web server if necessary for python: (I think you need python 1.5.2 or above..) make static cd py_ext make mingcmodule.so fix the install path in the Makefile make install USING MING: check the examples in the "examples" directory Oh wait, it's not there anymore. Check the web site. Make your own, better, examples and send them to me.
