Hi all!
In an extension I'm making I have the need to convert a swf (i.e. the first frame) to jpg or png. I need this as I need to place a layer ontop a preview of the swf, and that's not possible.
So I thought I'd make an operator that convertes and returns a jpg/png of the swf.
I searched the net, and I can't really find any way to do it with PHP.
Any help makes my day better :-)

Hi again..
I did a lot of research and I discovered the ffmpeg-php estension which I thought would solve the problem. But, unfortunatly I can only get it to work with avi, mpeg, mov etc. and NOT with swf or flv.
I thought about publish it as an new operator extension here if there would be any interest for it. Shout if there is..
