creating swf file without flash

[Mathieu_BSL]

Hi !

I would like to generate a swf file from an .as files (a text file containing ActionScripts code). My .as file contains only flash var declaration like :

var myVariable 1 = 45;
var myArray = [12, 45];

... and so on

There is no Movie-Clip, no functions : only variables.

Someone already told me that it was possible to generate a swf file automatically from C++ or another programming language without using the authoring environment of Flash.

Is that possible?

Thankxs !

You can try it with PHP. It is possible to create .swf's with PHP.
for further informations look at a PHP book or www.php.net.
I hope this information can help you.

Hi !
It seems to have a lot of information for creating animations and graphics on PHP.net, but I can't find information about defining variables. Is there a Macromedia official book about it, or some particular great stuff, tutorials ?
I am not very familiar with PHP, so perhaps I need a good strating point...

Thank you again!

you probably won't find any macromedia books on making swf with anything but flash.

when ya build them with ming/php, you're on your own. hunt around the web, you'll find some tuts.
