[Papervision3D] Far manifest...

[John Grden]

ha! excellent:

<!--
============================================
Far (Flash Archive) Manifest file, v.0.1
--------------------------------------------

Build an archive from this manifest, using:
    far -m path-to-manifest

============================================
-->
<far-manifest target="mexico.far">

    <!--
    Priorities, ranked from highest to lowest.

    Higher priority files are placed at the beginning of the
    archive so they will be streamed in first .
    -->

    <priorities>
        <priority>default</priority>
    </priorities>

    <!--
    Source files, in random order.
    -->

    <source compress="1" priority="default">
        <path>mexico/states.shp</path>
        <index>mexico/states.shp</index>
    </source>
    <source compress="1" priority="default">
        <path>mexico/rivers.shp</path>
        <index>mexico/rivers.shp</index>
    </source>
    <source compress="1" priority="default">
        <path>mexico/roads.shp</path>
        <index>mexico/roads.shp</index>
    </source><source compress="1" priority="default">
        <path>mexico/cities.shp</path>
        <index>mexico/cities.shp</index>
    </source><source compress="1" priority="default">
        <path>mexico/cities.dbf</path>
        <index>mexico/cities.dbf</index>
    </source>
</far-manifest>

Just wondering, does compress attribute directly relate to FarItem.asBitmap,
FarItem.asMovieClip, FarItem.asText ?  if not, what does the "1" stand for
(or is there a doc on the manifest usage?)

Thanks Edwin - very exciting to see this taking shape!
