swfmill should not read a png as xml. what it does is read in the png, transform it to a flash-internal representation, compress it with zlib, base64-encode it, and write the outcome into an internal XML file. that *should not produce non-UTF8-chars*, indeed it should only produce plain 7-bit ASCII.

i cannot reproduce your problem. your createskin.sh produces the target swf without any error message (with my swfmill 0.2.11.18) here. can you try and boil the problem down even further into a single .xml/.png combination?
