[swfmill] Splitting simple dialect in several files

[Gabino Travassos]

I'm just guessing here, but I think the import tag needs a referrer name.

Here's an XML file I made that has a jpeg and mp3 embedded in it:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<movie version="8" width="800" height="600" framerate="30">

<background color="#fcfcfc" />

<library>

<clip id="img1" import="images/784I.jpg" />

<clip id ="fallout" import="the_fallout_PunkIsDead.mp3" />

</library>

<frame>

<place id="fallout" /><place id="file1" />

</frame>

</movie>

I get SWFMill to export and swf from this: swfmill simple file.xml file.swf
in my .hx file I am referring to it:
var fallout=new Sound(null);

fallout.attachSound("fallout"); // this is the id from the xml file

fallout.start();


And my .hx file needs this at the top:
import flash.Sound;
