Encyclopedia
swfmill is a free software
command line tool that generates SWF
files.
It is an XML
-to-SWF and SWF-to-XML processor. It uses SWFML, an XML dialect closely modeled after the SWF format. It comes with XSLT
capabilities, and a more accessible dialect of SWFML to generate SWF files.
swfmill may be used to generate SWF files that contain library assets for use with MTASC
. Currently, it imports images (JPEG
, PNG), fonts (TrueType
), SVG and other SWF files. It may also place assets on the stage, create movieclips with multiple frames, textfields, among other things.
