SWFFile.createFile()
Description
This function generates a new Flash Object file with the specified template and array of parameters. It also creates a
GIF, PNG, JPEG, and MOV version of the title if filenames for those formats are specified.
If you want to specify an optional parameter that follows optional parameters that you do not want to include, you
need to specify empty strings for the unused parameters. For example, if you want to specify a PNG file, but not a
GIF file, you need to specify an empty string before specifying the PNG filename.
