Ok, so I would have expected something like this to work:
header('Content-type: application/x-shockwave-flash');
swf_openfile('php://stdout',400, 250, 30, 1, 1, 1);
$pic = swf_nextid();
swf_definebitmap($pic, 'php-big.fi');
swf_pushmatrix();
swf_placeobject($pic, 1);
swf_popmatrix();
swf_showframe();
swf_closefile();
But it doesn't seem to. I'll keep reading. The ming stuff does look a
lot more intuitive.
