[swfmill] recursionLimit tag still working in Flash 9 player?

Hi, I've got a performance bug ("script is taking too long..." error) that I can't repro, so I thought I'd try reducing the timout using the ScriptLimits tag: The thing is, the code does seem to be taking more than 1 second in the initialization phase (where the bug report points to), but

You can communicate with an AVM1 swf loaded into an AVM2 swf through a LocalConnection object. It is a PITA and the data chunk that can be sent at one time is limited (something like 32k), but it does allow back and forth. The big problem with this is you need code in your AVM1 swf to connect to th

That does sound like it could be useful. Interestingly, if you have a swf created in swfmill that does a shared lib import of another swf, and you look at the XML generated from that swf with swf2xml, it lists all the export IDs from that swf. In the test I tried it was actually quite redundant in
