[swfmill] Help grokking SWFML basic (newbie)

[Ralf Fuest]

Hello Emmet,
OpenOffice seems to produce corrupted SWF files, it forgets a byte at
the end of the file. I've updated swfmill to handle corrupted SWF files
better and produce a XML file anyway. This works with the OpenOffice
SWFs.
Your description of the XML tags seems mostly correct and I don't want
to comment that in detail now. But feel free to ask if you have any
further questions about it.
The <UnknownTag id="0x309"/> can be caused by a corrupted SWF file, but
shouldn't cause problems as long as the tags after the UnknownTag are
correct.

I think you should do the whole project in a different way:
- Create a SWF containing the slides using OpenOffice or pdf2swf
  This file contains each slide in a separate frame

- Create a swfmill simple XML that imports the slide SWF
  e.g. <clip id="slides" import="slides.swf"/>

- You can now control the slide SWF with Actionscript.
  e.g. gotoAndStop(slideNr)

This way you don't have to mess with the basic profile.

I hope I haven't forgotten any questions in your long mail ;).

Ralf
