It's possible in at least some cases... as Michael notes you can pull in a

numbered image sequence.


But please remember that SWF is designed for optimized delivery, rather

than as a catch-all media container... there are certainly some 3D

renderings that would be unhappy when crammed into a SWF.


Shockwave has a much faster realtime bitmap compositing engine, and has

runtime drawing abilities as well... for many applications this may be a

more appropriate solution.


In case you're new to SWF, and are coming from a digital type of

background, then the following might help in approaching this new file

format:

"Flash for Videographers and 3D Animators"
