lead2gold Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 you could always load the animation up (the swf) and use alt+[print screen] on your keyboard.That will take a screen shot... you could load that up in any photo/image editor you have and save it as a jpg.Chris Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/15477-swf-to-jpg/#findComment-62790 Share on other sites More sharing options...
zq29 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 There is some software called [url=http://www.swftools.org/]SWFTools[/url] that has a command line tool called swfextract which can be used to extract images from an swf file. You could use this tool along with PHPs exec() function to auto-extract frames from the swf - Would this be any use to you?

onlyican Posted July 24, 2006 Author Share Posted July 24, 2006 My mistake, I didn't say something rightThe SWF, allows someone to create something, say, design a room, moving furniture n stuffThen I want the PHP script to grab the completed image, so I can use it on the website.Therefor I can not do printScreen, or Extrernal Apps Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/15477-swf-to-jpg/#findComment-62936 Share on other sites More sharing options...

zq29 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 So really, this isn't a PHP question. Maybe try a Flash forum? You might get a better response that way... Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/15477-swf-to-jpg/#findComment-62967 Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlyican Posted July 24, 2006 Author Share Posted July 24, 2006 noThe SWF is on the server.In PHPYou can create an image of a website, and save it a jpg(imagecreatetruecolor I think, cant remember now)I want something simularexcept the path wont be http://www.example.comit would be /example.swfthen I get a nice pretty picture of what the flash looks like.This can be done in flash, by sending all the pixles over to phpthen php putting all the pixles together, I just wanted to know if there was an easier option Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/15477-swf-to-jpg/#findComment-63025 Share on other sites More sharing options...
