Since hundreds of people asked me the same:
LIB_SWF has problems displaying images on Windows-Servers.
I__C-A-N___N-O-T__help you! It just DOES NOT SEEM TO WORK ON WINDOWS!!. Get yourself a Linux-Server or try Ming (www.opaque.net) instead.

Hi!
I'm currently developing a HTML2SWF php, and I had serious problems displaying images...

swf_definebitmap() does not seem to work for "just displaying" a picture, e.g.
--------
swf_definebitmap(1,"myfile.gif");
swf_placeobject(1,10);
--------
(The image won't show up as expected)

...BUT...

everything worX fine when filling a shape with a picture, e.g.:

---------
swf_definebitmap(1,"myfile.gif");
swf_startshape(2);
 swf_shapelinesolid(0.1,0.1,0.1,1,0.2);
 swf_shapefillbitmapclip(1);
 swf_shapearc(50,50,100,0,360);
swf_endshape(2);
swf_placeobject(2,10);
---------

Hope, I could help some guys out there!

regards
HotKey

P.S. php rulez!

"SWFBIN" environment variable will be used to find the program imgtofi. not "SWFBINPATH" as documentation says.

to use this function, you need "bin/imgtofi" or/and "bin/pstoff" from the libswf distribution
