not sure about this -- anyway, what i definitely need is to learn xslt. it's amazing what Daniel can do with it. it seems to be extremely powerful, and i have some wicked ideas. oh if i just had a few days to learn it... > In any case, do you remember a while back you gave me a pointer > on the base64 encoding of images?

JPGs could be included verbatim. > I got another idea for you Mark, > It would be entirely possible to code a transform that takes a Glade > project file and creates the corresponding FlashUI components using > swfmill. Now that would rock. it would, definitely. but something else that might work would be to skip swfmill and convert the glade xml directly to actionstep code that builds it. afaik Scott Hyndman is working on a XML dialect to build actionstep GUIs, which already is pretty cool, but having a graphical GUI designer tool to create XML and then convert it to actionscript code to create the actionstep GUI would be even more convenient. mark -- http://snafoo.org/ _______________________________________________ swfmill mailing list swfmill@osflash.org http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/swfmill_osflash.org
