Is it possible to create a new swf file and save it with actionscript in anyway?

For example load an image into a swf and save it as a new swf…

**edit**  
if not is there any other simple way to render a flash file(swf) from lets say a couple of images and variables stored i text files.

Hi jaxie,  
welcome to tihuana 😉

to be honest, your question is a bit confusing, at least for me :ponder:

so, you mean to create a new swf without opening flash?  
or from flash to save a swf with a different name?

salut

yes i want to create an swf file without opening Macromedia Flash for example there is a framework called Transform [http://sourceforge.net/projects/transform-swf](http://sourceforge.net/projects/transform-swf)

I’m just wondering if i’m forced to use Java or if i can simply use Actionscript and create an application in Flash to do this.

**edit**  
The project i’m starting up is to convert e-learning movies created with “screen recording” tool that exports the movies to Macromedia Director.  
The export function creates a folder with images for the background and the changes in the background, and specific images for the mousepointer. Also there is a couple of textfiles saying when and where these pictures are supposed to show and how the mousepointer is moving use timestamps and x and y coordinates. I need to be able to read these textfiles and images into an swf file and then apply the x,y coordinates and timestamps. Then there is sound and a talking avatar but that will come later… heh.
