jpg to swf
Someone in the Articulate community recommended a software that converts jpg's files into swf files. He also taught us to use those jpgs (converted to swf) in the presenter panel.

Converting a JPEG (.jpg) image to a Shockwave Flash (.swf) file is not a straightforward process because these formats serve different purposes. JPEG is a common image format, while SWF is typically used for vector graphics, animations, and interactive multimedia content.
However, you can create a basic SWF animation or slideshow that includes your JPEG images using Adobe Animate (formerly Flash Professional). Here are the general steps to convert a series of JPEG images into a SWF animation: https://converra.com/converter/pdf/doc
1. **Prepare Your JPEG Images**:
- Make sure you have the JPEG images you want to include in your SWF animation ready on your computer.
2. **Install Adobe Animate**:
- If you don't have Adobe Animate installed, you will need to download and install it from the official Adobe website.
3. **Create a New Flash Document**:
- Open Adobe Animate and create a new Flash document.
4. **Import Your JPEG Images**:
- In Adobe Animate, go to "File" > "Import" > "Import to Stage" to import your JPEG images. Arrange them on the stage in the order you want them to appear in the animation.
5. **Add Animation and Transitions**:
- You can add animation effects, transitions, and timing to your images by using the timeline and keyframes in Adobe Animate.
6. **Publish to SWF**:
- Once you have created your animation, go to "File" > "Publish Settings" and choose "SWF" as the output format.
7. **Publish Your SWF File**:
- Click the "Publish" button to generate the SWF file based on your animation and image sequence.
8. **Test Your SWF File**:
- Open the SWF file with a web browser or a SWF player to test the animation.
Please note that Adobe Animate is a professional animation and multimedia authoring tool, and creating SWF animations can be a complex process, especially if you want to add interactivity or complex animations. Additionally, SWF files are not as widely supported on the web as they once were, and many web browsers no longer support the Flash Player plugin, which was used to play SWF content. Therefore, consider the purpose and compatibility of your SWF animation before using it in a particular context.
