Please,
I would like to create .swf movie from folder containing images .jpg in an applescript workflow.
Any solution would be appreciated, even using third party applications, unix, c++ or whatever.
For the while, I didn't fin any solution to script Imagesready and GraphicConverter for this purpose.
Thank you

You have a variety of options.

Many years ago I scripted a Flash workflow (using PreFab player) to use a Flash template (FLA) and the Update command in the Flash library to swap in new JPEGs. That cut down a QuicKeys process from a few minutes to about 12 seconds... later I did it one better, by figuring out where the JPEGs were being inserted in the resulting SWF and just swapping the raw binary data in directly to the SWF (and, IIRC, updating a few other values, probably the length of each JPEG segment). This was before SWF was a documented format, so I couldn't have done much more with this, but that much was easy enough. If you can afford between a few seconds and a minute per SWF, then either of these approaches would still work today...

Now that SWF is relatively "open" - especially for simple things like this - there are a bunch of tools/libraries available for generating SWF.

For instance, Ming:
<http://ming.sourceforge.net/>

You didn't really say what attributes this movie will have... are you just trying to create a sequence of JPEGs in a SWF? Anything more complex, like putting each into its own graphic object, or adding interactivity, or is it just a series of JPEGs on a timeline?
