Re: [swfmill] MTASC and SWFMILL
Christopher Brian Jack [EMAIL PROTECTED] (on Thu, 01 Jan 1998 17:45:18 -0800 (PST)): I'd really like to be able to use SVG properly (ie: more than one in the SWF project). Can't do a proper game without being able to manipulate vectorized shapes. In fact this one thing could make SWF not an option if there's no way to get more than one SVG into a SWF project. Sorry Brian, that doesn't really make me consider spending any time on SVG import-- why should i care if you use SWF? Furthermore, there is a workaround: convert the SVGs one-by-one to SWF first, then import those SWFs. You wont be able to manipulate any of those shapes from flash though, either way (although certainly you can /use/ them). -dan -- http://0xDF.com/ http://iterative.org/ ___ swfmill mailing list swfmill@osflash.org http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/swfmill_osflash.org

Alienate the few people that use open source solutions and force them to use the expensive alternatives (like flash) becuase without swfmill Haxe can't do anything in its SWF export except make simple shapes with the drawing primitives. SWF is one of the few cross-platform solutions that works equally acrosses platforms and OSes.

Re: [swfmill] MTASC and SWFMILL
Wasn't aware it was a hack. For a hack it works great.

Roxlu [EMAIL PROTECTED] (on Wed, 24 Jan 2007 14:08:52 +0100): Though, why can't I use only a import movieclipclassname; in my mtasc main class? Strangely it only works when I specifically add the movieclip-class to my mtasc compile line. Though imports which are not movieclip-classes are compiled like they should be. I'm not sure i understand your problem. What do you mean with 'imports which are not movieclip-classes are compiled like they should be.'? How do you know they're compiled? I dont know if mtasc maybe only compiles the classes when they are actually used, i.e., an import statement is not enough. That would maybe explain the behaviour you see. If my assumption is right, a different way to force inclusion of those classes could be to use those classes somehow from a function that is maybe never called. I doubt this is more elegant than including them on the command line, though. hth, -dan -- http://0xDF.com/ http://iterative.org/ ___ swfmill mailing list swfmill@osflash.org http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/swfmill_osflash.org -- Jon Molesa [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ swfmill mailing list swfmill@osflash.org http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/swfmill_osflash.org

I found it when I discovered the natural-entry point and for a hack it's truly useful. depends on the definition of hack, i guess :) for me, there's ugly hacks and, well, beautiful hacks. the latter is of course desirable. the class=.. hack does nothing else but to include some AS code to call Object.registerClass(classname you've passed). you can look it up in src/xslt/simple-tools.xslt[1] (the 'register-class' template). seeing that this kind of hacking is where swfmill's xslt foundation really becomes a beauty, this probably classifies as a beautiful hack. it could be of interest if this is maybe also possible for haXe/flash9. someone'd need to hack in the AVM2 bytecodes to src/codegen/source.xml first, though ;) -dan [1] http://swfmill.org/trac/browser/trunk/src/xslt/simple-tools.xslt -- http://0xDF.com/ http://iterative.org/ ___ swfmill mailing list swfmill@osflash.org http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/swfmill_osflash.org

I've been using your beautiful hack with mtasc and flash 8 without any problems. Anything I should be watching out for? BTW- I also have had to include the classes used in this way on the compile line in mtasc for this to work. Has been a head scratcher at times when I add a new class and forget all the places where it needed to be referenced ;-), but not really any problem...

Re: [swfmill] MTASC and SWFMILL
This http://www.tenpoundsound.com/blog/2005/10/flash/makefile-build-system-for-swfmill-mtasc/ has been very helpful, though I had a bit of head scratching at first with this. But it's easy enough to figure out. I just include all my classes and only those that are used get compiled. * Hudson Ansley [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: BTW- I also have had to include the classes used in this way on the compile line in mtasc for this to work.

Sorry for the late reply -- the list seems unusually slow today (Jan 2, 1998 2:45 AM). :) Are you using the latest prerelease (I think it's 0.2.11.25, see swfmill.org/pre/)? I believe this has been fixed. I ran into this before and noticed that converting shapes into paths helped.
