The FlashIDE is really one useful for placing the assets and timeline
control as you stated. If you're asking if it automatically writes AS
code for you, I don't believe that it does. However, there are
shortcuts for simple actions. The FlashIDE's code interface is highly
regarded as sub par for
everything goes in the movie tag because you have only one movie that
you're creating.

I was thinking the same thing myself. So questions go unanswered for a
while and this one gets lots of attention.
For me it was a question I felt that I could actually answer. haha.

Andrei,
Both swfmill and mtasc can create the application.swf. If you're
using swfmill to create the swf in order to place images and other
assets, the you do not need to again create the application.swf again
with mtasc. Instead, just inject your AS code into the existing swf
"mtasc -main -s
I'd be glad to compile the fla for you.

In other words, if image quality isn't an issue than DefineBitsLossless
can safely be replaced by
DefineBitsJPEG and a base64 encoded string can then be used to insert
the image.

Steve,
once again thank you for your insights. i can see now that this is
far to complicated of costs just to achieve something using a simple
process. My question is then if there is a significant difference to
using one tag over the other? Do they serve different purposes or can
they be us
thanks Steve, that's exactly what I was running into. I had generated
the base64 for an image and pasted that into an xml file's data child
of the DefineBitsLossless2 tag and got a very strange looking image.
is that to say that DefineBitsLossless2 is expecting binary
representation of an ima
As some of you know I've been playing around with swfmill quite a bit
in an attempt to document some of the features. I've ran into
something I don't understand. A while back Mark informed me that the
image contained in the tag is in fact base64 encoded.
I've successfully taken some images
Will do thanks Mark.

This is true, but the exists no IDE for Linux. A few are in the works,
but none are really that close. There was qflash it's dead, f4l is dead
and has moved to uira. ktoon does create swf's with an IDE, but it's
aimed at animators. And really the only thing that would have to be
kept up is swfm
Well, at the moment all I did was send a swf created in the Flash IDE to
swfmill to output the xml, then sent the xml back into swfmill and had
an identical copy of the original swf complete with the animations,
links to external websites, actions, buttons, everything. It was then
that I knew that
I do appreciate your response. I just noticed that every time I mention
any other use of swfmill than building libraries, the thread gets real
quite. I just don't want to step on any toes or anything. But I see
swfmill as an opportunity to design, build, and create swf's solely on
Linux. Swf's
I'm not looking to start a debate on the uses of swfmill. Out of
curiosity what is the big use of swfmill? My understanding is that it's
mostly used for building libraries, and MTASC is used to compile the
actionscript. However, I've recreated swf's solely with swfmill
including the AS, animatio
Let me ask you a question:
Couldn't one take swf's created with the FlashIDE, with UI
components on the stage or in the library, convert it to XML, and then
reuse the XML to "drop" UI Components into any swf created with
swfmill? It appears to decompile to byte-code.

We'll .NET supports calling unmanaged code with P/Invoke. You could
build a dll that contains custom calls to the swfmill library. On the
other hand, a simpler solution may be to generate the XML on the server
through you ASP scripts and "call" the swfmill binary feeding it the XML
you created.
If my memory serves me correctly, there's a known error on large font

I'd be quite happy, but Clients usually end up dictating where I spend

Awesome, I appreciate that. Not to be a pain however, but what is a "Rest"

Awesome ideas on application. I wouldn't call you just a "user"
either. Your knowledge of swf, AS, and swfmill is far superior to
mine. In any case, do you remember a while back you gave me a pointer
on the base64 encoding of images? I couldn't ever get the conversion

Thank you,
That was very helpful and the link about the base encodings. Since
reading I've been trying to match the results that swfmill generates for
an image to that of what a program called base64 returns. I had a swf
created with a single image in it. Decompiled it into xml with swfm
My thinking is still rough on this idea, but if I'm headed in the wrong
direction I hope that someone can point me in the right direction.
When I decompiled an swf with swfmill it contained the images as a
string. Which swfmill then took the xml and recreated the exact swf
images and all with not

All this sounds real goof to me. I know the standard use of swfmill is
to build libraries and mtasc to compile the AS code, but I took a very
complex SWF created in Flash MX, converted it to an XML representation
