Ming is a library for writing SWF (Flash) format files. It includes high-level functions which abstract away mundane specifics of the file format and PHP (and now Python/Zope, Ruby, and c++) module code which wraps the library into handy objects.

New additions include text fields, browser-defined fonts (e.g. "_serif"), and type 2 buttons. A decompiler which converts flash action bytecode to c-like script code was added to the listswf utility.
