[osflash] FLA2MXML per JSFL - any thoughts?

[John Grden]

I'm sorry to be the noob on the block, but how does this work out
practically?

I mean, if you have an FLA with movieclips that have movieclips that have
movieclips embedded blah blah blah, how's that worked out in mxml?  An mxml
file for each movieclip?  Ok, I can see that, then you have to come up with
some logic for packages based on the movieclips relationships?  what if the
movieclips aren't bound to a class?  where do you park those?  I mean, you'd
have to create some package/class for each right?

On top of all that, how would you account for movieclips that don't show up
until frameX?  Would that just be a "state"?

Are you suggesting a full FLA conversion no matter how wacky it is or are
you thinking just certain types of FLA's that follow some sort of
pattern/guideline?

And although it sounds like fun, what'd be the major benefit of having
something like this?  Just the ability to compile with the new / free / fast
compiler?  And how would it be apart of someone's work flow?

IE:  Do I have to export everytime I make a change in the FLA, then compile?
Or, do I create/get the FLA, convert via JSFL command, then edit within the
mxml after that point?

if it's scenario #2, then what happens to the FLA and it's library of assets
(bitmaps, sound, flv)?  do you export all of them out, then embed for the
application to use?

Sounds like fun, and would be interesting to see, but not sure that starting
from scratch wouldn't be better/easier.  I mean, sounds like if Flasc could
work to be used with the new compiler of MTASC, that'd pretty well help out
with the problem that this might solve.

Sorry, just thinking off the top of my head, it DOES sound like fun ;)
