Inserting PNG into SWF or PNG conversion to SWF

Hi all…

I want to hear peoples opinions and experience with Inserting a PNG into SWF or PNG conversion to SWF

There seems to be some major disparities on what people think about the methodology and even possibility of this on a unix system, serverside.

I have put many many hours googling this, and have found much conflicting info… I am still not convinced this is impossible…

Ming somehow requires you to convert pngs to the dbl format before it can do a server side conversion…
Except… there are no server side functions to do this!!

Flash can’t dynamically load pngs… what a stupid omission…

I have seen this (png inserted into swf) being done, however…

on http://charas-project.net

after you create your character, you can view a flash preview…

this is where they do it… i think… i have asked them on their forums… but no answer as of yet…
great site btw…

Look forward to hearing your guys responses!
