The ming stuff is definitely more intuitive...
The libswf is a bit more advanced, though, and it does make sense once you
understand the swf file format...
http://reality.sgi.com/grafica/flash/swftest.c
is an example in c (the api's are nearly the same, except php doesn't support
the sounds)... If you adapt from that you'll see how its done (the resulting
animation is at: http://reality.sgi.com/grafica/flash/test.html)... You can
also check out, http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/mattern20010111.php3, for a
pretty good tutorial on the flash functions...

Ps: With just a quick look at your code, you need to define a viewing plane
with swf_ortho() or swf_ortho2()...
