I’m aware that the available documentation isn’t great. Sorry about that. Improvements are in the pipeline but swfmill went largely unmaintained for a long while and these things take time. In the meantime the best source of documentation is this mailing list -- either by asking questions or searching the archives. > I have successfully compiled a swf with > an embedded SVG.

For Flash 9+, you just need to set the id attribute of the clip to the full name of the controlling class (including the package name) -- but check you are using a recent unofficial build of swfmill. The ones on swfmill.org are rather old and predate my maintainership. A new release is planned imminently but again, these things take time. There are recent Windows builds here: http://www.danielcassidy.me.uk/swfmill or you can check out the latest code from Launchpad and build it yourself: https://launchpad.net/~djcsdy/swfmill/trunk > Are there any example projects > available which demonstrate combining swfmill with as3compile (or mxmlc), > rather than haxe? Not that I know of. But, when compiling to Flash 9+, the process of associating clips with classes is the same for haxe as for as3compile or mxmlc. I think the problem is that the existing tutorials and examples tend to target Flash 8, which uses a different mechanism. Hope this helps, Dan. _______________________________________________ swfmill mailing list swfmill@osflash.org http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/swfmill_osflash.org
