Flashy PHP scripts

My awesome webhost has once again improved their product by adding a new extension for PHP.
It’s called ming and it can be used to make Flash clips, yes that’s right, SWF files that work. :) Ming works similar to image libraries such as GD, but then for Flash.
I don’t exactly know how much of Flash it actually supports, but from what I’ve seen it does most of the things that you could possibly be interested in.

On a side-note, ming doesn’t seem to work very well with PHP4. However, this is not a problem because the LLP servers use a technology that allows you to use PHP5 (or even 6) whenever you like.

You can see an on-site example of a ‘ming script’ here.
Or, if you are interested in seeing more cool stuff, there is a large list of examples here.

Anyway, I think ming is a really nice extra. :D

Edit: Forget what I just said about PHP5. Ming works fine with PHP4 too now. Thanks, Trel!
