It might be a bit outdated, though.. > So far my concerns: > - how to rotate a clip > - how to zoom a clip Assuming you dont want to use script code, you can insert a <Transform> within a <PlaceObject2> tag. It might be best to construct a simple SWF in the Flash IDE and swf2xml it to learn. Zooming can be accomplished easily, but rotation will be a combination of scale and skew. Look up some 2d matrix maths to do it :) > - how to play a sound (mp3) at the beginning of a clip I have no idea, sorry. Oh wait, there is <StartSound>, that might help. You'll have to take care of the objectIDs yourself, though. Or you could sponsor improvement in the area. > - is it possible to have smooth movement between 2 frames, or should I raise frame rate? A frame is a frame (is a frame). The flash player doesnt put new frames inbetween the ones you define. You might want to fiddle with morph shapes. hth, -dan -- http://0xDF.com/ http://iterative.org/ _______________________________________________ swfmill mailing list swfmill@osflash.org http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/swfmill_osflash.org
