Creating a video using jpg frames?

[pwnedd]

Hi,

I am new to Flex and to AS3 in general, and was wondering if anyone could help me decide if it would be appropriate for a particular task. I would like to take a collection of jpg,etc images, and make a small .swf movie out of them. Flex would be ideal because I want to do this dynamically on-the-fly, and the mxmlc compiler seems well-suited for this.

Does anyone know how reasonable this would be to do, or any resources to get me pointed in the right direction?

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Thanks! :)

Are you looking at building all the JPGs into your distributable SWF, or keeping them external?

Flex or Flash would work fine I think. You could use PHP to get the file names of a given folder and loop through them to display in Flash if you wanted to do it dynamically. The Timer object would be a way to animate the jpg's. The above is a lot of work though. The easiest way might be to go with a product like slideshowpro which has everything pre-made.
