I wish to create SWF (Flash) files with PHP but what is the best option for that nowadays? When I use Google I find all kinds of old pages about this subject, but not much is happening in this field lately, it seems....

Ming is no longer part of PHP 5.3, and I can't figure out how to install it with PECL.
('pecl install ming' doesn't work... but neither does any pecl package I try, so I guess I do it all wrong...)

On <http://pecl.php.net/package/ming> it says the package has been superseded. My broken english tells me that means another package is now a better solution? But which package then?

Is anybody actually using PHP to create SWF's or is this a bad idea anyway?
