# SWF(3pm)

an autoloadable interface module for Ming - a library for generating ShockWave Flash format movies.

## NAME

SWF - an autoloadable interface module for Ming - a library for generating  ShockWave Flash format movies.

## SYNOPSIS

```
        # Don't import other modules
        use SWF;
        # import all SWF modules
        use SWF qw(:ALL);
        # import SWF::Shape and SWF::Movie only.
        use SWF qw(Shape Movie);
```

## DESCRIPTION

By default, SWF doesn't import other SWF classes. You may, however, instruct SWF to import all modules by using the following syntax:

```
        use SWF qw(:ALL);
```

## METHODS

- SWF::setScale($scale);

  Sets scale to `$scale`.

- *SWF::getScale()*;

  Get the current scale. 20 means 20 twips (1/20 of a pixel) and is the default value.

- SWF::setVersion($version);

  Sets SWF version for the header of flashfiles. Choose a value between 4 and 7 for your flashmovies. If you are unsure take 5.

- SWF::setCubicThreshold($num)

  Sets the threshold error for drawing cubic beziers.  Lower is more accurate, hence larger file size.

- SWF::setSWFCompression($level);

  Set output compression level. Returns previous value. `$level` is integer between 0 and 9. Note: This function is called automatic too by \
   	`$movie`-\>save($filename\[,$level\]) and\
   	`$movie`-\>output(\[$level\])  if the optional parameter `$level` is given.

- SWF::useConstants($flags);
