Re: [swfmill] Problem with swfmill+mtasc+FP8 for fonts
Hi, Sorry for the late answer. But what is the swfmill version that you use ? Be sure to use the last prerelease located at http://swfmill.org/pre/swfmill-0.2.11.18.tar.gz http://swfmill.org/pre/swfmill-0.2.11.18-win32.zip The example posted on (my) blog works with swf8. I use it know. So it might be a swf tag issue. Send me an example of your font.swf.

I now uploaded the full code to http://dev.marcreichelt.de/emff/emff_0.5_dev_2006-08-22_0.tar.bz2 if you want to try it out. In the directory bin there is a useful bash script to create the file emff_standard.swf, run it like this: ./createskin.sh standard Don't run it in any other directory, since it *might* do something that you don't want it do (but usually, it should just exit in that case).

After this, you need to install all the required libs (jpeg, freetype, lame): fink install libjpeg libjpeg-shlibs freetype2 freetype2-shlibs lame lame-shlibs Then, you have to inform configure of where they are: LDFLAGS=-L/sw/lib CPPFLAGS=-I/sw/include -I/sw/include/lame ./configure make sudo make install HTH --- erixtekila http://blog.v-i-a.net/ ___ swfmill mailing list swfmill@osflash.org http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/swfmill_osflash.org
[swfmill] RecursionLimit tag 65
Hi, Seems that swfmill don't add RecursionLimit tag. Number 65 in Alex's reference. Would it be hard to add it ? Furthermore, when I use swfmill swf2xml on a file that was created by swfmill, I get an undefined tag : 0x18. This tag is for prohibiting some swf to be read in the Flash IDE.

Re: [swfmill] [ANN] prerelease 0.2.11.18
That's exactly what I got every time. To build swfmill dynamically linked to the relevant libraries, edit the Makefile.am files in the src and swft directories and comment out the lines at the top pertaining to Macs. This will at least enable you to get a working OS X build up and running until Dan can churn out the official builds. Apparently Dan added a Mac-centric build file to the repository in a recent revision, but I've not had time to check it out yet, Thanks, I'll check that. I wait for le grand Dan .for the secret. PS.

Re: [swfmill] font issues
Le 5 juil. 06, à 13:30, [EMAIL PROTECTED] a écrit : I've been trying to follow the dynamic embedding tutorial here: http://www.deja-vue.net/blog/2006/05/26/as2-sharedfonts-datagrid- example-the-last-stand/ which basically uses swfmill to create a shared font library. Everything works fine but the font I want to use isn't aligned properly - text in textfields is moved up by up to 20 pixels. Do you compile for swf8 ? Could be the issue as the new tags for fonts are not yet included in swfmill. This is only a problem with swfmill and only a problem with some fonts. The font in question is Avenir from Linotype in TTF format. I'm guessing it's something to do with the font's metric information - is there a solution? Beware anyway that font are converted to vector in the swf. Be sure that the glyphs don't use big space around them. Give a look at it with fontforge (excellent software) You'll get probably a clue. So not sure it's a metric problem. I use font embedding with swf8 and don't (i think) get any position shift.

Any idea ?
Here is something that works.

that don't :
textfield id=version width=150 height=20 size=8 font=Arial
text=version ${version_application}/
nor font=_sans

It seems that when using no @font for the textfield node, it is not
inserted in the output.
Here is a basic swfmill-ll output of a swf generated with flash without
embedding the font outlines :

Re: [swfmill] Actionscript use with swfmill
FYI, the first tool that was able to produce xml from swf was called KineticFusion. http://www.kinesissoftware.com/index.php The first version, which was free, was able to insert as1, drawings and bitmpas. I don't know if this tool is still available, ask his author, Alex Bradley. Written in java, it was the first time we could swf - xml, like swfmill do today. Now, KineticFusion is a mature tool that is able to compile as2 and swf8 new tags. It is commercial, but it worth the price. There is even a server component that is able to deploy applications serverside. Not like OpenLaszlo, more like ming, because one could produce the whole swf and there is no included components. I'd like to see swfmill able to place as2. I don't what time it could take to do. The major possibilities comes from the xslt and his extendible nature. So if one feel to enhance the simple xml vocabulary, it'd be pretty easy. Perhaps, Dan should tell us the basics of doing it by ourselves. Maybe we could add to swfmill.
