[swfmill] Splitting simple dialect in several files

[Gabino Travassos]

Oh. Not the easy 2-second answer then...

I tried the <include id="otherfile" file="temp.xml" /> and <clip 
id="otherfile" import="temp.xml" /> and neither worked. Are you doing 
something like:
swfmill file1.xml file1.swf
swfmill file2.xml file2.swf
and then using both these in haXe as separate swf -lib items?

I imagine there are some OK workarounds for this.
