Hi all,
I found out about swfmill by accident and I'm really loving it.
I have a question I hope hasn't been answered (I poked around in the
mailing list archives and other places to no avail). I'm trying to
use swfmill to automate some terribly tedious flash library
importing. I wrote a python script that sets up some xml which is
then run through swfmill simple. An example:
<frame>
<library>
<clip id="kulippu31" import="0032.jpg" />
</library>
<place id="kulippu31" name="myKulippu31" x="0" y="0" depth="32" />
</frame>
It's nothing fancy, taking a series of images and placing them one to
a frame. Now, what I'd like to do is to take this swf movie and load
it as a movie clip in Flash MX for later drawing over top. However,
loading the swf movies as a library crashes MX, and loading them into
the library of another project make the swf come up as a bitmap
object, with only frame one visible.
I'm not quite sure how to go about doing what I need to do past what
I've already coded, so I was hoping someone could shed some light on
the situation for me. Do I need to encase my images inside <symbol>
tags? (Found one mention of them on the net.) Does adding <movie
version="6"> make a difference, or does swfmill only output to v7 and
v8?
Sorry if these are all answered elsewhere. I signed up for this
mailing list because despite all my searching I can't find the
answers I need. And before you suggest it, there are reasons I want
to do it this way and not overlay my sketches on a video clip.
Thanks in advance,
- Charles
