Can I write data (words fetched from a form ) over a flash file swf
with php ?

Flash file is produced by a video maker who doesn't know flash and
actionscript.

The xml/text read from swf file is non good for me.

I should write over swf file. Is it possible ?

Immaterial whether you're using PHP, Perl, Python or any other
server-side language. You need a Flash-related newsgroup.

Do you mean you want to modify the SWF file, or simply embed the SWF
file and put text on top of the displayed image, by e.g. using a layer
above it?

The latter is IIRC simple HTML, and well within the scope of anything
including PHP.

The former is a deep and dirty process

Flash is a proprietary file format owned by Adobe. They haven't
licensed or released the format to Open source, so unless you reverse
engineer how to write the file, you are most likely out of luck.
Rethink your approach. This one won't work without a lot of work that
will most likely have Adobe's lawyers on your ass regardless of what
country you live in.

Can you give me more information about this approach?

Thank you all.

It almost sounds to me as if you're asking how to clickjack the play
button on a flash video.

Nah, I must be wrong.

So is the latter. Usually you _cannot_ put anything on top of active
content like a Flash. The possible solutions are just hacks.

Well I do not consider that setting the SWF into a z-plane with
transparent mode and overlayering text is a 'hack'. It is simple HTML.

In my book.

Thank you all.

I'd like to explain my requirements
My friend (content video maker) asked me for a simple an inexpensive
digital signage system for small shops.

He can produce video in different format.

I don't want to reinvent the wheel.

I just see yesterday that there are web player (jw player, flow
player, Open Source Media Framework di Adobe)

My friend create video templates and I just only add an overlay with
text fetched from a form or Database, so I think that this players
could be a interesting track for my purpuse.

TIA.

OK, but you need to understand the way things work.

Anything you want to present on a web page, or techniques you want to use
on the web page, be they flash, javascript, css, html or bouncing funky
gibbons are outside the scope of php programming.

To generate a web page with php, first of all you need to understand what
you want to deliver to the browser. Then you use php to generate that
content. But a php programming group or forum is not the place to ask
what content you want to generate, rather it is a place to ask how you
generate that content.

We won't tell you how to use an img element to embed an image in an web
page, but we can tell you what functions might help you create the image,
the html you want, or both.

Most of the replies in this thread are anecdotal.

1. Setting the flashvar mode=transparent in embedding the video will
let you put anything you want over the movie.
2. However, JW Player has quite a few parameters and APIs and
customiztion possibilities that will probably let you do what you
want. Read up on it.
3. Though the replies to your post are pretty lame, the posters are
correct that this is not the forum for your question. Try the forum on
the Longtail site or just google.
