After some tests and some mails with Eric ( aka erixtekila ), the new Flash 8 meta seems not working properly.
I compile a first swf with the Flash IDE ( v8 ) and open swf result with ActionScriptViewer to see content.
Great...SWF Meta is ok ! ( not surprise ^^ )
Now I compile a swf with OS tools ( as2ant / mtasc / swfmill 0.2.11-18 )
This is my as2ant task :
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<target name="Build" description="Builds application">
<swf
mtasc="${soft.mtasc}"
classpath="${src.dir}"
src="" Main.as"
dest="test.swf"
version="8"
wimp="true"
swfmill="${soft.swfmill}">
<xml>
<![CDATA[
<movie width="800" height="600" framerate="31" version="8" >
<meta title="myTitle" description="informations" />
<FileAttributes hasMetaData="1" useNetwork="network" />
<frame>
<textfield id="_title" width="0" height="0" size="2" font="verdana" text="test" />
</frame>
</movie>
]]>
</xml>
</swf>
</target>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I open result in ActionScriptViewer and......SWF meta is incorrect, this is the error message :
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- XML parse error
-- Reference to undeclared namespace prefix : 'rdf'.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error occured when I try a swf2xml too :
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- namespace error : Namespace prefix rdf on RDF is not defined
-- <rdf:RDF><rdf:Description/></rdf:RDF>
-- namespace error : Namespace prefix rdf on Description is not defined
-- <rdf:RDF><rdf:Description/></rdf:RDF>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is erixtekila point of view :
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. When define <FileAttributes hasMetaData="1" useNetwork="network"/> seems that default one is not overwrite.
2. rdf syntax seems to not be correct, namespace is not declared
<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf=" http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#
xmlns:contact=" http://www.w3.org/2000/10/swap/pim/contact#">
3. description is not added at all
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I add a small question ( not a problem ;) ), as meta is in rdf format, can we add rdf tag like 'author', 'date', 'publisher', 'Rights managment'... ? is it planned ? or is it a serach engine limitation for flash content ?
Cheers,
Romain
