[xray] SVN Checkout

[John Grden]

excellent!! I've actually been thinking about the same thing and actually
started on it, but it stalled with some Red5 work that came along ;)

I'm not at my computer right now, but when I get up there, I'll look up the
thoughts/ideas I had to accomplish this.  I seem to remember some really
simple way of doing this.

So, essentially, what you want is the reverse effect of what xray is
currently doing (Tree -> SWF highlight).  You want SWF ->  Tree highlight.
Mouse over in the SWF, highlight object in the tree - yes?

One thing to account for is that you've inspected the parent clip that the
movieclip you're mousing is in.  IE: taken a snap shot or clicked on the
parent node in the tree.  Otherwise, it wouldn't show up/highlight.  And,
that parent would have be expanded/showing.  Make sense?

Cool, VERY COOOL  - glad someone is trying to extend Xray.  I can't WAIT to
do the interface properly so people can easily extend it.
