Thanks Dan. Yes, it appears that it is what is going on. A bit strange though in my case, because i have a very simple svg that simply draws an "arrow" as a polygon with three vertices:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg";> <polygon fill="black" points="-5,-2.5 5,-2.5 0,2.5" /> </svg> So, in the case above, there is no distinct sprite child to manipulate. But swfmill still generates a Sprite that contains a Sprite (with runtime property referencing it) that contains the actual shape graphics. And since it generates a property with random name like "id*******" (7 random digits for asterisks), it is also difficult to write a class definition in say haXe that will match the graphics. I am not sure what exactly is going on... But I can leave it be because I typed my class as "dynamic" meaning that the extra property is not a problem now and can be added at runtime.
