[swfmill] Restoring broken bounding boxes?

[Ralf Fuest]

Hello edA-qa,
swfmill's XML format is closely modeled on the SWF file format, so you
should look at a SWF reference (e.g.
http://sswf.sourceforge.net/SWFalexref.html )

All coordinates in flash are in twips. The ShapeSetup tag with x and y
coordinates moves the current drawing position to this coordinates
(absolute values). The x and y values in all other tags are relative to
the current drawing position. This also means that the x2 and y2 values
in a CurveTo tag are relative to the curves control point described by
the x1 and y1 values and not to the current drawing position before the
tag.
