Hey Gabriel, sorry for answering that late.
I tested it out and first it didn't work either using your XML and the latest
downloadable swfmill for Windows (v 0.2.12) from the swfmill homepage. I tried
with some other XML examples found on the net and they didn't work either.
Eventually I found a later release (0.2.12.5) in my mails and tried with that.
Didn't work with your XML but a few changes later I got it.
See typeofundefined.com/stuff/testswfmillText.7z, I left your XML intact
(testTextSimple_o.xml) so you can see the differences. The new swfmill.exe is
also in there.
(For the record: using Vista with UAC on. You remember, lost my mother on that
... ;-P)
Hope you figure it out
Matthias
