Perl::Flash PerlFlash
Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with the Perl::Flash
(http://www.2shortplanks.com/flash/) or the PerlFlash
(http://www.the-labs.com/PerlFlash/) packages. The deal is that both
modules have problems with converting images (gif jpeg) to the SWF format.
When this is done, the modules both seem to print out blank spaces where the
picture should've went.
Has anyone experience this problem or/and fixed it perhaps, or is this just
a stupid mistake on my behalf?
I've included the code I use to do this below (in case this is a programming
error).
Any suggestions/comments would be well appreciated.
P.S. If anyone knows about any other PERL Flash modules, please don't
hesitate to mention them ;)
CODE: (PerlFlash Test (http://www.the-labs.com/PerlFlash/)

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
###
# PerlFlash Wrapper test #

use Flash;
Flash::open('test.swf',256,256,20);
Flash::ortho2(-100,100,-100,100);
Flash::defineBitmap(1,test.jpg);
Flash::placeObject(1,50);
Flash::showFrame();
Flash::close;

The deal is that both modules have problems with converting images (gif jpeg) to the SWF format. I don't know if this could be related to your problem but last I checked those modules hadn't been updated in quite a while, and were both incomplete in terms of implementation. If their authors have stopped working on them, then it is possible that there are pending bugs that are unresolved, and may unfortunately never be fixed. P.S. If anyone knows about any other PERL Flash modules, please don't hesitate to mention them ;) Well, it's probably not _the_ answer but have you considered using SVG instead of Flash ? SVG can do what Flash does and more, and its only problem (lack of wide user base) is being solved at great pace by the fact that Adobe are bundling their SVG plugin with Acrobat Reader, meaning millions of people are getting SVG every day. SVG is XML so it's really easy to generate it from Perl (just like HTML) using some template system or AxKit. Just gzip the output and you're done :) -- ___ Robin Berjon [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- CTO k n o w s c a p e : // venture knowledge agency www.knowscape.com --- Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.

[OT] Re: Perl::Flash PerlFlash
hi, I'm the author of the ming XS code. I posted it to the ming mailing list a while back but didn't have the chance to fix all bugs/memory leaks. I don't really recommend using it under mod_perl. Though I got involved in other projects and didn't work on it for a long time, I have a much improved version which I never posted. Please contact me privately if you need further info (I assume that ming is OT). Thanks Soheil On Fri, 20 Jul 2001, Nouguier Olivier wrote: Jónas Tryggvi Jóhannsson wrote: P.S.

Jónas Tryggvi Jóhannsson sent the following bits through the ether: I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with the Perl::Flash (http://www.2shortplanks.com/flash/) or the PerlFlash Yes, I've been helping Simon Wistow with Perl::Flash stuff. He's presenting a talk about it at the O'Reilly Open Source conference next week and the code has changed a lot recently (and not the website ;-). However, at the moment it's more geared towards parsing Flash files rather than generating them. Please check out the CVS code at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gravel/ or join the mailing list at http://www.astray.com/mailman/listinfo/gravel or come and talk to us in the conference ;-) Leon -- Leon Brocard.http://www.astray.com/ Iterative Software...http://www.iterative-software.com/ ...
