[swfmill] SWFMill with as3 and flash 9

[Joel Poloney]

Tony,

This is something that I was dealing with a while back:
http://osflash.org/pipermail/swfmill_osflash.org/2007-November/001540.html.
The thread is actually pretty huge, but worth reading.

If you want your swf to work in AS3, you should begin your xml file as
follows:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='iso-8859-1' ?>
<movie version='9' frames='5' width='320' height='240'>
   <FileAttributes hasMetaData='0' allowABC='1'
suppressCrossDomainCaching='0' swfRelativeURLs='0' useNetwork='0'/>
   <background color='#FFFFFF'/>
   ...
</movie>

Also, the latest binaries from the swfmill website (0.2.12) do not support
the FileAttributes tag (at least not very well, someone correct me on
this?). If you compile from source, it should work fine. I've compiled from
source (specifically revision 234) and I have no problems with this. The
latest revision appears to be 250 (version 0.2.12.6).

Cheers,

-- Joel
