[swfmill] (flash8) add linkage to jpg/png directly - *STILL* possible ? + Fonts (Text version of previous post)

[Luke Schreur]

I hope this is what you are trying to do. In the first frame you create
your library (similar to Flash's export in first frame). Then you import
a bitmap into your library. Then you place the bitmap inside a library
movieclip. Now you can attach the movieclip to the stage or whatever. I
did this from the top of my head so there could be typos:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<movie width="320" height="240" framerate="12">
	<background color="#ffffff"/>

	<frame>
		<library>
				<clip id="foo"
import="library/foo.jpg"/>
				<clip id="FooClip">
					<place id="foo"
name="myFooInstance" x="10" y="10" depth="1" />
				</clip>
		</library>
	</frame>
</movie>

In AS2.0

attachMovie("FooClip", "myFooClip", 0);

Hope this helps...

formating... Here is a text version so everybody will be able to read it

Hello list people,

I'm trying to understand the how to use SWFMill to use bitmaps in my 
movieclips, accessed from AS2 only.
I have tried a lot of workarounds, and have currently one which works 
with the SWFMill "bug" (Which attach the bitmap within a container).

Recently, i have found this post:
http://www.osflash.org/pipermail/swfmill_osflash.org/2005-October/000264
.html
and so have tried to make the attached 0.2.11.1 version to work the way 
i want.
Anyway, and after a ton of tests, i can't manage it to attach my bitmap 
the proper way.

So my question is, is it a solved issue? Have i to keep my 
movieclip-container-size-detection-loadbitmap-tricky workaround?

Another question, very simple. Is it possible to avoid the "smooth" 
effect when using SWFMill imported fonts? For instance, if i want to get

an embeded version of the "Arial" (Some of windows default fonts) size 
10 in my SWF, what is the trick to avoid antialiasing?

Last question, because the online "official" version is still the 
0.2.11, and because i only have found the 0.2.11.1 version with a luck 
on the mailing list, i really appreciate if someone can tell me where to

get latest versions. If this developpement is dead, is Dan now involved 
in another, more recent, similar project i can use? I know a bit about 
HAXE, but it seems very unstable and "fragile", and i really wish to 
keep my FLAME set up as it is now...

Anyway, thanks a lot for any kind of answer.
Friend regards,
Pierre.
P.S.: Please excuse my poor english. BTW i'm french and the french lack 
of documentation really hurts ;-)
