hi Marc,
i know this is a bit confusing, but there are two swfml dialects,
swfml-s and swfml-ll. the document you found refers to swfml-ll ("low
level"), which basically is an xml representation of the SWF file
format -- i.e., not really what you want to work with, if you don't
plan to use swfmill as a SWF reader/writer library thing, or for low
level SWF manipulation.
typically, you use swfml-s ("simple"), which uses a built-in default
xslt stylesheet to be transformed to swfml-ll and then is written to
an SWF binary. this is what almost all documentation and examples you
will find refer to (except the one you linked to, which is the only
swfml-ll doc i know of).
i've written a (now outdated, but still usable) introduction in
swfmill's early days, you can find it here:
http://iterative.org/swfmill/doc/using-swfmill.html
the most up to date documentation is on the osflash wiki page:
http://osflash.org/swfmill
feel free to add more examples! :)
the definitive documentation is the simple xslt in the sources:
http://mirror1.cvsdude.com/trac/osflash/swfmill/browser/trunk/src/xslt?rev=117
as for the <button /> tag, there is none (in swfml-s), sorry. you can
use a normal <clip /> instead and use its onPress/onRelease handlers.
of course, you could also extend the simple xslt to teach it a <button
/> tag and submit a patch...
hth,
mark
