[swx] storing swx file on server

[Fabrício Seger Kolling]

You will have to modify SwfCompiler.php at line ~570.
function writeSwf($data, $debug = false, $compressionLevel = 4, $url = ''){
    ...
    header("Content-Type: application/swf;");
    header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="data.swf"');
    header('Content-Length: ' . strlen($swfFile));
    echo $swfFile;
}
All you have to do is return $swfFile at writeSwf() call on swx.php and 
then store it in the database of filesystem.
To write out the contents again, just echo the stored data.. ah, and 
don't forget the headers.
