The Flash objects API is an extension to the Objects API that allows extension developers to build objects that create simple Flash content. This API provides a way to set parameters in a Flash Generator template (.swt file) and output a Flash Movie or Image file. The API allows you to create new Flash objects as well as read and manipulate existing Flash objects. The Flash button and Flash text features are built using this API.
The .swt file is a Flash Generator Template file, which contains all the necessary information required to construct a Flash Object file (.swf). These API functions allow you to create a new .swf file (or Image file) from a .swt file by replacing the parameters of the .swt file with real values. For more information on Flash and Flash Generator, see their respective manuals.
