3 png2swf - Takes a number of png files and converts them to a swf movie, one
7 .B png2swf [-X width] [-Y height] [-o file.swf] [-r rate] file1.png [file2.png...]
10 This tools converts png image files into an SWF animation. It takes any
11 number of input pictures, and converts them to SWF one-by-one, where every
12 converted picture is a seperate frame in the target SWF.
15 images are encoded in SWF is very similar to PNG (in that a zlib-based, lossless
16 compression algorithm is used). Under special circumstances, when the image
17 is 32 bpp with alpha information, it is converted to (lossy) jpeg compression
18 though, to preserve the alpha, which can't be encoded in any other way in the SWF.
