You can use ffmpeg library. It is very useful library for convertion.

Here is the link

You can run this command from your php code.And you can run it in a loop for all images.

ffmpeg -f image2 -i image%d.jpg video.mpg

Answer 2

A thought: why do you have to convert the images in the first place? Why not just use Flash to display the images. That can be done using ActionScript.

If the images are not the correct size, then use your application server to resize them before putting them in a location accessible to your Flash application.
