Change Log:

2002-07-11:

An interim release of the current state of the code (as amended and enhanced during a commercial project).

• XML-->SWF Fix
• Extra Sound Helpers
• Other bug fixes

2001-08-20:

• Amended ChangeURL example to search inside buttons, sprites and "clip actions" for getURL actions.
• Fixed TagWriter to handle glyphs defined with anticlockwise vectors, added "anticlockwise" element to DTD and the XML reader + writer to denote such glyphs.
• Various minor bug-fixes.

2001-07-26:

• Added tag support for DefineBits, JPEGTables and DefineBitsJPEG3 (Alpha JPEGs).
• Added tag support for the Generator Tags - but without parsing the contents (not in scope of JavaSWF2).
• Added tag support for the event and streaming sound tags and SoundInfo struct.  Sound Data is a blob that is to be encoded/decoded via helper classes for each codec.
• Added the above to the tag interfaces, TagParser, SWFSaxParser, SWFSaxWriter, SWFTagDumper, SWFTagTypesImpl, TagWriter.
• Added do-nothing implementations of the above to the MovieBuilder so it will compile - Movie object model not updated to cope with sound or the new JPEG types.
• Updated the XML DTD.
• Fixed some bugs with previous SWFSaxWriter.

2001-07-21:

• Added com.anotherbigidea.flash.writers.SWFSaxWriter - SAX2 Content Handler for converting XML back to SWF. This is alpha code - needs a big shake down. 
• Added DTD for SWF to/from XML

2001-06-26:

• Added com.anotherbigidea.flash.readers.SWFSaxParser - SAX2 Driver for low-level SWF format to XML. See main() method for example usage. Equivalent SWFSaxWriter to convert XML back to SWF is next thing to do (also document the DTD).
• Changed ..movie.Font so that Text will always use DefineFont (rather than DefineFont2) - this prevents the Flash 5 optimization of using the same font for text and edit-fields, but it saves space when there is only text.

2001-06-25:

• Fixed bug with Kerning in Font class.
• Added lossless image support.  See also the ..movie.ImageUtil class, method createLosslessImage(..) for example of creating a lossless image.
• Added example of loading a JPEG image.
• Added example of creating text.
