It took me a bit to get the module working. I installed SWF::Builder and it secretely needed Data::TemporaryBag.

Using your code I get an error now. The error is "Can't place the imported bitmap because it's size is unknown at swf.pl".

UPDATE Now I get an error that says it cannot get the height and width of the bitmap. I think it couldn't get the file before because I typed in the wrong file path. But now it can't get the dimensions. Is there a way for me to hack around it with image::info h&w params? 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;

use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);

use lib "/home/everyday/public_html/lib";

use SWF::Builder;

my $movie = SWF::Builder->new
    ( FrameRate => 15,
      FrameSize => [0, 0, 400, 400],
      BackgroundColor => 'ffffff'
      );

my $jpeg = $movie->new_jpeg('spyder_avie.jpg');

$jpeg->place;

$movie->save('winter.swf');

Any idea what this error means? I tried tossing it at google but nothing is coming back.
