swfmill is capable of representing all those things in XML, but possibly not in the sense that you would like. swfmill's XML is a 1:1 representation of the internal structure of a swf. It isn't capable of decompiling ActionScript code, and it isn't capable of converting a swf generated using Flex back to the original MXML. swfmill is capable of representing ActionScript in XML, but it does so by assigning an XML tag to each AVM bytecode. Despite being XML, this is still a very low level representation. Similarly, MXML compiles down to a bunch of shapes, sprites and AVM bytecode inside the swf. swfmill can represent shape and sprite definitions, and AVM bytecode in XML format, but that's still a much lower level format than the original MXML. Binary data within a swf that doesn't adhere to the swf tag structure -- for example JPEG or MP3 data -- is represented by swfmill as base 64 encoded binary data. It's reasonably simple to base 64 decode this data and extract it to individual files, if you know what you're doing, but swfmill alone won't make it any more editable. However, the swfmill simple dialect does give you a reasonably simple (if not very well documented) way to construct a swf from XML instructions. You can convert from the swfmill simple dialect to swf, but you can't convert a swf to the simple dialect. The simple dialect supports (in swfmill trunk, upcoming 0.3.0 release and unofficial Windows binaries at <http://www.danielcassidy.me.uk/swfmill>): * create compressed/uncompressed SWFs with any version number (although only 6-10 are sensible choices). * set framerate/size/background colour. * create movie clips with multiple frames * create textfields. * import other SWFs as sprites or as libraries. * import SVG as sprites (many but not all SVG features supported). * import MP3, WAV sounds. * import JPG & PNG images directly or as sprites (PNG images are converted to Flash's own internal lossless format). * import TTF fonts. * import arbitrary binary data. * place objects on the stage or within the frames of movie clips, with transformations. * and a few other things. In particular you can't author SWF shape data directly using only the simple dialect. Hope this helps, Dan. _______________________________________________ swfmill mailing list swfmill@osflash.org http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/swfmill_osflash.org
