1 2MING THE MODULE 3 4[![Build Status](http://travis-ci.org/libming/libming.png)] 5(http://travis-ci.org/libming/libming) 6 7Last updated 09th January 2014. 8 9Ming is a Flash (SWF) output library. It can be used from PHP, Perl, 10Ruby, Python, C, C++, Java, and probably more on the way. 11 12It comprises a lot of Flash functionality, including features of Flash 8. 13 14Specifically, it lets you create: shapes (including morphs), text, sprites 15(aka movie clips), buttons, and actions in flash movies, plus more. 16 17The goal for Ming is to abstract away all of the mundane specifics of the 18SWF file format. 19 20Ming also includes a PHP wrapper which wraps Ming objects in PHP objects. 21Pretty cool. 22 23The Python wrapper has been updated to mirror the functionality of the PHP 24interface, so you should be able to use the PHP documentation without 25getting terribly confused now. 26 27There's a Perl wrapper now, feedback about it (and enhancements) are most 28welcome. 29 30The C++ wrapper is just one big header file. But it seems to work pretty 31well. Check the examples directory. 32 33Ming is released under the LGPL. See file LICENSE for the gory details. 34The command-line actionscript compiler is released under the GPL. See 35file LICENSE_GPL2 for details. 36 37For installation instructions, see the INSTALL text file. 38 39The Ming Development Team 40http://www.libming.org 41
