fair enough, me neither-- i had my flatmate produce test swfs at the time :)

i've attached a simple star swf (boiled down from
http://swfmill.org/trac/browser/trunk/test , imported from svg :) for your 
review. The LineTos is what you're probably interested in. CurveTo works just 
the same but with x1,y1 (control point) and x2,y2 ("destination" point). Note 
that the flash player doesnt render cubic beziers natively (you need to 
approximate them with quadratic ones :().

obviously, you'd need to understand some basics of SWF too (DefineSprite, 
PlaceObject2) to analyze/produce more complex drawings. also, please note that 
the structure of these is not swfmill's domain- swfmill's "lowlevel dialect" 
just resembles the SWF structures as XML. all weirdness thanks to macromedia 
(or even futuresplash) :)

hope that helps.
