[swfmill] prerelease 0.2.11.21

[Hudson Ansley]

I created the swfs with Flash (I get swfs from a designer who uses
Flash). The blendMode type is a drop-down selection, and the
cacheAsBitmap is a checkbox, independent of the blendMode setting
(i.e., you can have cacheAsBitmap set with no blendMode). Maybe it
uses a byte for that Boolean setting on it's own?

For the filter issue, I added a couple of filters with no error, so I
added one of each type and then I got the error. Maybe color matrices
are 18 bytes within a filter... would there be something in a color
matrix that would already be specified by the filter? I have to admit,
I really have very little knowledge of the byte code breakdown of swfs
:-)

Flash let's you add a number of filters to one movieClip, I added
about 7, but there is no indication of a limit. Would it help to make
a SWF with a clip for each different type of filter?

BTW- I had no good reason to have a movieClip with 7 filters on it
(although you never know what a designer might come up with ;-) , I
was just testing swfmill at that point... And I'm not sure if it was
just one of the filters that caused the problem or that there were so
many...

Hudson
