Re: [swfmill] install trouble...
Thanks !That's a clever use... I would not have thought about using SwfMill for this, didn't know loadMovie could be painful...

There's one problem I have with the game, though: http://www.snafoo.org/tmp/oddoneout.png It's a pretty common problem with SWFs and Linux and came up on the osflash list a couple of times -- missing fonts. Some fonts are often assumed to be installed on every system (e.g. Arial) when they really aren't (not on Linux anyway). It's no problem on the Mac or Windows, that's why hardly anybody notices during tests. I'm not saying you have to go and fix it in the game, I just want to point it out because I think it helps if more people are aware of it, and because swfmill can be used for a nice solution: Runtime Shared Fonts. You can check if a font is installed on the system (in System.capabilities somewhere I think?), and load it if not. Erixtekila described how to prepare a font library SWF for runtime sharing here: http://www.v-i-a.net/blog/archives/44.html You might need a recent pre-release from http://swfmill.org/pre/ (the fresh ones are somewhere in the middle...).
