Mawe, Mark is completely right- SWF knows JPEG and "lossless/zlib" compression. If there is any other format it must be new and unknown to me :) As repeatedly explained by Ralf in this thread, an alpha mask with JPEG-compressed images can be achieved with the mask="..." attribute.

Quentin,
IIRC, you know how to compile from SVN, right? I'm attaching a patch
that might solve the issue...
1., the FileAttributes tag is automatically inserted, values depending
on the value in /@local-access ('filesystem' or 'network'), and
the existence of any elements (directly) within the movie. This
functionality was only for version==8, the patch fixes that to >=8.
2., any FileAttributes tags from imported SWFs should be stripped. The
patch should do that.
apply the patch with
# cd swfmill
# patch -p0 < .../path/to/FileAttributes.diff
if you report success, i'll commit this to svn. but i havent tested
it :)
hope this helps, if it does, it would be nice if you could document
this feature on the osflash wiki (with a note about its availability).

Yes, you can wrap them in a new Sprite, i.e. create a new DefineSprite in which
you place all the PlaceObject2's. You can then place (and use from script) this
new sprite and regard it as "a slide".

I think you could PlaceObject2 a new object at the same ID as, say, an older
slide and it should get replaced. there is some "replace" attribute on
PlaceObject2 which you might have to use.

probably not :)

nup, as far as i can see your guessing is correct. My knowledge of SWF is also
mostly based on guessing, though.

[swfmill] readpng license incompatibility; swfmill distribution (temporarily) stopped.
Dear List, i have been made aware of a small license breach in swfmill's use of Greg Roelof's "sample code" for using libpng to read PNG files. It was published under a 3-clause BSD license requiring advertisement of the author's copyright with all distribution, which is incompatible with the GPL, swfmill's favoured license. Until the situation has cleared up, i have stopped distribution of swfmill's source and binary archives. I have asked Greg for permission/relicensing of the code, to allow me to put the stuff back online. If i/we dont get permission, we'll have to rewrite the functionality. It's not a major problem, but as usual i might be lacking the time for it, and also i currently don't have access to my usual machine for compilation on Windows and OSX, so it might take a while to get back to the distribution standard you've gotten accustomed to.

Or, is there a possible way out of this? Brice, i dont think this is done to offend us ;) It shouldn't really be a problem, either. Flash8/9 movies work fine with DefineFont2 tags, i don't think sIFR3 *requires* DefineFont3s. I am not sure what the difference is between the two (except that the latter is not understood by swfmill) - but i think it's minimal for normal usage.

fair enough, me neither-- i had my flatmate produce test swfs at the time :)
i've attached a simple star swf (boiled down from
http://swfmill.org/trac/browser/trunk/test , imported from svg :) for your
review. The LineTos is what you're probably interested in. CurveTo works just
the same but with x1,y1 (control point) and x2,y2 ("destination" point). Note
that the flash player doesnt render cubic beziers natively (you need to
approximate them with quadratic ones :().
obviously, you'd need to understand some basics of SWF too (DefineSprite,
PlaceObject2) to analyze/produce more complex drawings. also, please note that
the structure of these is not swfmill's domain- swfmill's "lowlevel dialect"
just resembles the SWF structures as XML. all weirdness thanks to macromedia
(or even futuresplash) :)
hope that helps.

In general, swfmill is version-agnostic, i.e., the attribute defines the SWF version. swfmill doesn't support AS3/AVM2 bytecodes per-se, but *mostly* the swf tags containing them should be transformed fine (as UnknownTags), especially if you dont need the "simple" dialect.

[swfmill] [ANN] swfmill 0.2.12 'it's a long, long road'
Hello, first, let me thank all those that responded to my call for help in various ways. I had two small contractor jobs related to swfmill since then that will keep me warm for a month or even two. Jon promised to work on documentation. Many have tested the late prereleases. Warm thanks to all of you who helped, or will help in the future! Now, after a year (!) of pre-release madness, I finally present to you (proudly): swfmill release 0.2.12. It accumulates all the incremental fixes and improvements collected over the last year, most notably: * Steve's support for the Flash8 tags (not completely complete, but a huge step!) * JJ's basic MP3 import * Gerrit's improvements to SVG import * the new "swfmill library" mode to easily produce asset libraries * OSX universal binaries * fixes all over (thanks to the other contributers!) I hope to get into the release groove somewhat more now, using prereleases really only to send out improvements for testing. As soon as testers report "OK", a release should follow. Here are the download URLs: Source code (should compile easily on most Linuxes) http://swfmill.org/releases/swfmill-0.2.12.tar.gz Windows binary http://swfmill.org/releases/swfmill-0.2.12-win32.zip OSX universal binary http://swfmill.org/releases/swfmill-0.2.12-macosx.tar.gz Please, as usual, let me know about any regressions or bugs.

Hey Jon, good to hear you're still in. Basically, what kind of documentation you'd want to write is of course up to you- anything helps. What seems most important to me, though, is geting a comprehensive reference to the swfml-simple functionality, with examples. Very much like Mark's guide or the osflash page (but complete). The OSFlash page also misses some basic introduction into swfmill's function as a XSLT processor, the difference between lowlevel and simple dialects, etc.. > My offer still stands for documentation. I need someone to first tell > me what type of documentation I'm drafting as I'm incapable of deciding. As for the "hacks", that would of course be interesting too, but to me they have a much lower priority-- as anyone capable of creating a swfmill-XSLT-based hack will also have the competence to dig into it's function from what little info there is... Thanks also to Marc and Brian for the heads-up and success report. I've received another "0.2.11.22 works ok on my ~350 SWFs" off-list, so that makes three-- two more success reports to go before i'm willing to release (Note that if swfmill receives more fixes, we'll have to test again-- so be quick). -dan -- http://0xDF.com/ http://iterative.org/ ___ swfmill mailing list swfmill@osflash.org http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/swfmill_osflash.org
[swfmill] swfmill needs your help.
Dear swfmill-Community, as you all know, swfmill hasn't seen a release in all of 2006. That is a very bad thing, for two major reasons: * People that dont track the prereleases (probably the majority of users) don't profit from all the enhancements and fixes. * People start thinking swfmill is dead- while it's just stabilizing. I'd say the causes for this are also two: * swfmill is somewhere near feature-complete: it actually does what it was designed to (mainly importing assets), it does so ok, and there's little reason to change it. a few corner cases break swfmill and surely there are more bugs to be found, Adobe will come up with new versions and tags all the time (the new vm bytecodes are still unsupported), SVG import could suck less, etc. pp., but (as i think most people on this list can confirm) for most of it's "traditional" use cases it should work just fine. * my personal involvement has dropped considerably. please allow me one paragraph of lamenting: i've spent somewhere near 1k unpaid hours on swfmill. around a year ago i've tried earning some money with swfmill- one company offered to pay me 500E/month for a while to continue the (at that time, pretty fast) pace of swfmill development (and feature their logo). sadly, the guy that initiated the idea (and lobbied his company) left the corp before the paperwork was done, so it never happened. i've received two "donations" coupled to specific support/development questions, 100EUR and 100USD respectively, and one "real" (uncoupled) donation weighting 10EUR. I live cheap for german standards, but need (that is, for food and shelter) about double that amount a month. The two bigger donations took about a week of focus each. The idea was to pay some of the swfmill development time by cashing in on the increased "image". Do the maths. Now stop the lamenting! I found well-paid contract work early last year that still pays my life, so i really cannot complain. It wasnt swfmill-(or even flash-)related at all, and of course the code now belongs to the customer, and it's hopeless to lobby him into opensourcing it in any way. But after, i could focus away from the money onto other projects. As swfmill is "done" (see above), now there is (as many of you likely know) xinf. So. I learned a lesson: Dont do open-source for the money. The other lesson i learned with swfmill, though, is: open-source might just work. Many of you have contributed, in some way or the other, even if only by generating testcases for bugs. Steve's involvement shows that it's possible for an outsider to gain a deep-enough understanding of swfmill to be able to extend it to a new flash version (and fix other stuff). So swfmill surely got a lot better by being open. Of course, i also shouldn't neglect that probably nobody would know about swfmill today if it wasn't free (at least as in beer). So much for the past, now let's think about swfmill's future. Which is in *your* hands, as my involvement will rather continue to decline than increase. Now, it's probably not yet time to look for a new maintainer, but i do need some help: * test the latest prerelease (0.2.11.22), and *report if it works*. As the useOutlines issue showed, my fear of introducing regressions is not completely psychological. I want to see at least about 5 reports of "i use swfmill in this-or-that-context, and 0.2.11.22 works flawless" before finally going 0.2.12. If you want to help more, start organizing the construction of an extended set of simple test cases for automatic regression tests. * swfmill needs documentation. there is a lot floating around, but it needs a loving hand of collecting and organizing it into something like a manual. Please, someone, step forward and take on this issue. It could be one weekend of work, but would make an incredible difference and you could be certain of the thanks of many a newbie. * (obviously, if you can fix/contribute anything in the code---) when and if swfmill gets a release and some better docs, it is back on the road to being a stable tool. is that in your interest? if you need help helping swfmill, let me know. -dan -- http://0xDF.com/ http://iterative.org/ ___ swfmill mailing list swfmill@osflash.org http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/swfmill_osflash.org

Sorry Balázs, i could've been more helpful here. Reading through your mail again, it became clear to me that swfmill's svg import simply doesn't support importing multiple SVGs. I've added a ticket as http://swfmill.org/trac/ticket/17 . A workaround might be to "convert" these SVGs to SWFs first (with single swfmill wrappers), then import them.

I think i found the problem with toimport.swf, seems we'll have to parse another byte if cacheAsBitmap is used (does it have different modes?). But before i prerelease this, i'd like to find out more about the other problem, which is caused by the ColorTransform filter in your toimport_filter.swf. I can parse the swf fine if i reduce the expected size of the color matrix from 20 to 18. But ColorMatrices should have 20 values, no? How did you generate that swf? with flash? how many values can you set there? also, it might be good to do tests for the other filters. Convolution uses a matrix of dynamic size... Steve, have you tested these at the time? and even further on, swfmill and the osflash community at large could profit from a set of well-crafted test cases that cover most of what the flash player (or players, including gnash et al and earlier versions) do-- if possible in a clearly visible way so pass/fail could be detected automatically by comparing screenshots... -dan -- http://0xDF.com/ http://iterative.org/ ___ swfmill mailing list swfmill@osflash.org http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/swfmill_osflash.org

Re: [swfmill] 0.2.11-18 meta not work

As a workaround, use a standalone xml file for swfmill. @Steve, i've closed bug submission for the time being in fear of trac-spam. bug reports have to be sent to me, i'll add them there. if circumstances require, i could appoint a "bug manager" to do that :) -dan -- http://0xDF.com/ http://iterative.org/ ___ swfmill mailing list swfmill@osflash.org http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/swfmill_osflash.org

It might be a bit of an effort in xslt, but maybe with the help of another xpath function...? -dan -- http://0xDF.com/ http://iterative.org/ ___ swfmill mailing list swfmill@osflash.org http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/swfmill_osflash.org
Re: [swfmill] pixel fonts wrong rendering
