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

[MARTIN Pierre]

Hello again Mark,

The files you describe here are exactly what were attached to the 
previous mail and Dan asked me :-)

Let me please ask you a bit about HAXE:
- Is it really stable / usable as a production tool yet?
- Is there any user friendly *free* IDE which can handle haxe 
architecture (I'm a linux user, but my coworkers are real designers... 
That's kind of tricky to make a designer type some command line :-P  ) ?
- What are the main differences between the flash part of HAXE compiler 
and swfmill + mtasc?
- You already used it for professionnal projects? If yes, did the 
customer easyly agree to not be able to make changes without a basic 
knowledge of bash / dos, or having to be dependant on you to make changes?

Thanks for this.
Pierre
