Ming is a C library for generating SWF ("Flash") format movies, plus a set of wrappers for using the library from C++ and popular scripting languages like PHP, Perl, Python, and Ruby. There is also a book out on PHP and multimedia that has a chapter or two devoted to Ming. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1861007647/002-7787324-9752066 ?v=glance Warren Vail -----Original Message----- From: Todd Cary [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 08, 2004 1:35 PM To: Matthew Sims Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] Re: Slideshow using PHP Matthew - <<< Part of getting the slideshow to work is making the browser switch to the next image and well, PHP doesn't really make the browser do anything. >>> As I was thinking about it before posting this thread, that was my impression.
