Just to underscore this point, after seeing these posts I decided to take a stab at the opensource developer model. I downloaded the source, downloaded various mingw/msys components, even tried a cygwin variant. Can't get it to compile... I may try a linux OS running through that new VM Player. I think it would handle dependencies for me... sorry I am new to all of this...
And then even though it didn't compile, I did a search for all of the CurveTo chunks of code. I can see them. I can sort of understand what they do. But writing that kind of code... I'm afraid I'd miss an asterisk somewhere! As for the finances, if I had a financially viable project running that used swfmill in some way, then I would contribute. Currently looking at that CurveTo for some ideas... Thanks Dan for making it possible!
