SWFBitmap -- Loads Bitmap object

Description

new swfbitmap ( string filename [, int alphafilename])

Warning

This function is EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this function, the name of this function, and anything else documented about this function may change in a future release of PHP without notice. Be warned and use this function at your own risk.

swfbitmap() creates a new SWFBitmap object from the Jpeg or DBL file named filename. alphafilename indicates a MSK file to be used as an alpha mask for a Jpeg image.

Note: We can only deal with baseline (frame 0) jpegs, no baseline optimized or progressive scan jpegs!

SWFBitmap has the following methods : swfbitmap->getwidth() and swfbitmap->getheight().

You can't import png images directly, though- have to use the png2dbl utility to make a dbl ("define bits lossless") file from the png. The reason for this is that I don't want a dependency on the png library in ming- autoconf should solve this, but that's not set up yet.

And you can put an alpha mask on a jpeg fill.
