[osflash] XFL file format

[Juan Delgado]

I'm interested too, and I also agree is important to get an official
specification.

When I did ask (can't remember the blog, but was from someone from
Adobe) they said they were simply not prepared to publish the spec
yet. I guess they either have proprietary stuff to clean up, or put
more time documenting.

How far have you go looking at those XFL files?
