How to take snapshot from flash file

Hi there can anybody have infos on this:
I have at about 1000 .swf files and I want to pull out from each of them a snapshot - a thumbnail and I want the snapshot to have the same name as the swf file so I can know which photo belongs to which file. Also I want this to do it via PHP. Is something that possible in any way?
Or is out there a software that does something like this?
Thanks

 

mayb u can find some infos here:

i am not allowed to post link =(
anyway just do a search on google using keyword: swf snapshot
i remember i saw the word 'freeware' or 'free'

 

Did but icant find something, script or software, to take a snapshot from many flash files at once.

 

then i guess you have to do it one-by-one..

Sorry if you meant something else...

Looks good but dont understand how to make it work any hints?

 

I think there's a class on that page whichcaptures a frame from swf and saves it as an image. You need to make a script which scans your directory where you have swf stored, and get a frame from each swf, and save it.
I think ffmpeg can also do this (if installed on your host). It returns a frame from your flash (flv). You can upload all swf on host, get an image using ffmpeg and save it.

Anyone else something not so complicated?

 

Through PHP GD this prob can be solved..

I use this piece of code on .flv files, I don't know about swf files...

exec("ffmpeg -i $video_file_path -ss $screen_shot_seek -t 00:00:01 -s 120x90  -r 1 -f image2 $small_thumb_path 2>&1");

PHP:

You will need ffmpeg installed:

You can setup a piece of code to open the folder and read them one by one and use this piece of code to take snapshots...

Thanks my friend but what PHP GD is?

 

Thanks hamidof,
Is this a standalone aplication or is something like an add on to an apache server or something like that? (this exec command brings forward something like apache or php)
