Just use the mxmlc and create a script to call it and send it what you
need. It's fast and relatively simple to setup command line
copulation, there is many ways to set this up but I would just use
whatever scripting language to create actionscript files and compile
that.
About the others, Swfmill is old, ming is older, Haxe you can do it
but I dont know enough about it to help you.

Hello all,
I need to build swfs on the fly on the server-side and am looking
for some advice on what's the best technology to use. The script
will need to 1) pull in various swf assets (all vector graphics, no
logic) from the filesystem, 2) create a new swf based off a template
that includes the other swfs as movie clips and 3) insert some minor
customizations such as color tints and masks and possibly some
actionscript.
From my research I've come up with the following solutions:
FLEX
There is a server-side flex mode. But Adobe recommends against using
it in a production enviornment. I'm afraid it's memory footprint
maybe pretty hefty.
SwfMill
This seems like a good solution, but is it not in active development
anymore? Also I would prefer not to have to spawn an extra process
with each request so a php solution would be better?
Ming
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/class.swfprebuiltclip.php
Does anyone know about this function? Does it create movieclips from
external swfs?
haXe
I see that haXe allows you to create php scripts that create flash
movies. But does it allow you to pull in existing swf movies to
include in the movie you're creating?
Disclaimer:
I know that all of this could be done on the client-side. The reason
for compiling these swfs on the server-side is that the application
we're developing needs to re-use so many little pieces of
artwork(swfs) that the number of http requests neccessary is killing
the performance of the server. So this is mainly for optimization.
thanks. I appreciate any leads/insight
Ishmael
