I think this actually is possible in simple. There's <transform/> with attributes scalex, scaley, skewx and skewy. If I'm not mistaken, this is a normal 2D transformation matrix. As a 2D matrix, a rotation would be: cos(a) -sin(a) sin(a) cos(a) where 'a' is the angle in radians. The two cos' are scalex and scaley, I suspect the other two are skew. Maybe try it and see if it works. You can find <transform/> in the xslt that transforms swfml-s to swfml-l here: <http://swfmill.org/trac/browser/trunk/src/xslt/simple-elements.xslt> If that doesn't work, the easiest way to get the proper swfml-l is to find (or create) an example of what you want to do and convert it with swf2xml to see how it works.
