To clean these things up:
1. The directories containing the components and demos/examples:
remove the SWFs, promote the PNGs from the autoPng folder one level
up;
2. The LZX source for the components and demos/examples; explicitly
use the .png files in resource declarations instead of the
current .swfs
Or it might be easier to do some/all of this manually.

Not sure what you mean by 'a script to clean things up'?

The PNGs that have been autogenerated are good, both in terms of
appearance and in terms of file size. I don't think we need to add
a manual task here; a script to clean things up would be great.
Next step for a designer would be to create a new skin for the
components as a whole. But that's a non-trivial task.

This seems like a fine idea to me, but shouldn't we actually get
some designer resources to create optimal .png's, rather than
rely on the auto-generated ones?
And then we just need to prioritize this w.r.t. everything else
that is going on...

Is it time to remove the SWF resources altogether from the
components and the non-SWF specific sample apps, and move the
contents of the autoPng directories up a level?
The SWFs add confusion both to the source code ("I see SWF
resources -- how could that work in DHTML?") and in the way the
directories are laid out. And the autoPng mechanism is magic.
I don't think there's a benefit in keeping the SWFs around.
While SWFs in some cases may be smaller and/or may stretch
better, the confusion and difference between runtimes outweigh
the benefits.
Thoughts?
