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](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! - Aleks AKA KarmaKat
