Hi Martin. For testing purposes, I used a shell script to automatically 
convert all svgs in a folder to swfs. It is probably kind of inefficient, as 
it copies an xml template for each file. If you are interested though, I can 
send it to you.

However, if step 3 is not necessary (i.e. you don't need every svg as a 
separate swf file), I'd rather suggest that you skip this step altogether. 
It's simpler to convert your svg and compose the animation in one single 
step.

Then you just need a single swfml file like the one below, which can easily 
be produced by a script. You don't even need to change it when you rerender 
your svg files.
