SWF Scout ActiveX/NET library

Create flash slideshow using low-level methods to implement effects (rotation, scaling, movements)

IMPORTANT: if you are looking for not for low-level SWF API but for "ready-to-use" library for converting JPG, BMP, PNG images into flash slideshow with transition effects - please check our SWF SlideShow Scout Library
