Photo to Flash

Is it possible with PHP to take a photo and change it to Flash format?

I'm creating a online photo album and i don't want people downloading (save as...) the full size photo.

TIA

Well they can still download it. All they need is an SWF decompiler (freely available). I'm not sure if it's possible but I think it is but it is a huge waste. Why dont you either put a watermark on the page saying "SAMPLE" or linking to your site. The other thing you could do is use javascript to disable left click and also use the javascript to point to the source of the photos. This way they couldn't right click and if they disabled javascript, the pics wouldn't show up. The downside is that if someone legitamitly dosnt have javascript, then they couldn't view the page. I would steer away from the Flash though. Plus, it will take longer to download.

you can also press 'print screen' on your keyboard and take a screen capture

I already took those options and those issues into consideration and I still want to try Flash (W?BIC!, plus I want to play with SWF integration with PHP for potential future projects). Plus my audience is not that smart to use print screen nor swf decomplier, but they'll definately try to download the full size photo (cheapo's). I know javascript is a good alternative, but I already know how to do that, I want to learn something new anyway.

Thanks anyway fellaz.

In case others were wondering; freemovie, ming, libswf, swftools, drawswf are tools that can accomplish this.

Then why dont you just resize the images so that they aren't full pictures. The combine this with javascript and even if someone is smart enough to disable javascript, they will only be able to download a small image. Trust me though, I would NOT use flash.

if i can't get freemovie to work relatively instantly, then that's what I'll do buddy

thanx
