well, i've asked if the feature introduced with 0.2.11.1 works as expected-- without response. did you use <bitmap> instead of <clip>? it *should* work, if not, i'll dig into it a little more.

sorry- i dont know. there seems to be no flag or something involved on the import side- maybe it can be set from AS2 code?

the 0.2.x.y versions are prereleases- i'm just waiting for steve to finish some flash8 fixes to release a 0.2.12. development is not dead (and haxe is not fragile btw :), we're just trying to find a new (slower) pace. i admit that it's getting time to release..

you're free to contribute :) documentation is lacking in any language.
