- 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.

- 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 <phpdir>/ext/ming
- cp php_ext/* <phpdir>/ext/ming
- cd <phpdir>
- ./buildconf
- ./configure --with-ming=<mingdir> <other config options>
- 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.
