Introducción

First of all: Ming is not an acronym_ Ming is an open_source (LGPL) library which allows you to create SWF ("Flash") format movies_ Ming supports almost all of Flash 4's features, including: shapes, gradients, bitmaps (pngs and jpegs), morphs ("shape tweens"), text, buttons, actions, sprites ("movie clips"), streaming mp3, and color transforms __the only thing that's missing is sound events_

Note that all values specifying length, distance, size, etc_ are in "twips", twenty units per pixel_ That's pretty much arbitrary, though, since the player scales the movie to whatever pixel size is specified in the embed/object tag, or the entire frame if not embedded_

Ming offers a number of advantages over the existing PHP/libswf module_ You can use Ming anywhere you can compile the code, whereas libswf is closed_source and only available for a few platforms, Windows not one of them_ Ming provides some insulation from the mundane details of the SWF file format, wrapping the movie elements in PHP objects_ Also, Ming is still being maintained; if there's a feature that you want to see, just let us know ming@opaque_net_

Ming was added in PHP 4_0_5_

Requerimientos

To use Ming with PHP, you first need to build and install the Ming library_ Source code and installation instructions are available at the Ming home page: http://ming_sourceforge_net/ along with examples, a small tutorial, and the latest news_

Download the ming archive_ Unpack the archive_ Go in the Ming directory_ make_ make install_

This will build libming_so and install it into /usr/lib/, and copy ming_h into /usr/include/_ Edit the PREFIX= line in the Makefile to change the installation directory_

Instalación

Ejemplo 1_ built into php (unix)     mkdir <phpdir>/ext/ming     cp php_ext/* <phpdir>/ext/ming     cd <phpdir>     _/buildconf      _/configure __with_ming <other config options>

Build and install php as usual, restart web server if necessary_

Now either just add extension=php_ming_so to your php_ini file, or put dl('php_ming_so'); at the head of all of your Ming scripts_
