The example you have given looks like a valid JPEG file, so you should be able to Base64-decode that and load it into an image viewer. “object of type Rest” in swfmill means some arbitrary binary data, Base64-encoded. To figure out what that binary data should be, you need to look up the corresponding SWF tag in the SWF Specification ( http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/swf/pdf/swf_file_format_spec_v10.pdf ). In the case of DefineBitsJPEG2 the data may be JPEG image data or, when targeting Flash 8 or later and in spite of the name of the tag, PNG or GIF image data. Hope this helps, Dan.

Yes, it seems painful, but it's quick and easy to script. We use it as part of some batch processes and it's been working well enough.

It looks to be something like base64 encoding or something like that but when I try and run the string through a decoder to get back to JPEG format it does not work. Looking up the swfmill documentation revealed that the data tag should be an "object of type Rest" but when I tried to click the link to find out what that meant it was broken or had never been created or something. Basically what I am trying to do is swap out the image below with one that I want to include, so I need to convert the format of my own .jpg into something that is compatible with the swfmill format. Does anyone know how I would go about doing this? Thank you for all your help and I have attached a bit of the relevant tag below for reference (the full tag was too big and got bounced) -Rahul Dhodapkar &lt;DefineBitsJPEG2 objectID="48"&gt; &lt;data&gt; &lt;data&gt;/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABAAD/2wBDABALDRURCwwYER</pre> Rahul Dhodapkar 2012-06-19T19:06:22 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.text.xml.swfmill/2179 <pre>Ok, I take it back, the Cygwin build works just fine.

I got a mingw build working a while ago after struggling for several days trying to get the various dependencies aligned. I never did get the static build to work, though. I ended up having to build pretty much everything from source and link dynamically.

There’s no particularly good reason why swfmill should remove two characters from the middle of a string, but given the state of some of the code I wouldn’t entirely rule out the possibility of a particularly crazy bug.

You should be able to just put it next to swfmill.exe. However the exe shouldn’t really require that DLL at all. The fact that it does is a result of my stupidity.

Recently I tried to compile swfmill on a multicore machine and started to get random fatal errors during compilation. They look as if GCC tries to compile one of g*.cpp files before its creation finished. The errors are different in each run, sometimes the compilation succeeds. Disabling parallel compilation seems to have fixed this problem. It was suggested here: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-924018.html that the problem can be fixed by splitting the rule for $(CODEGEN_GENERATEDSOURCES) and $(CODEGEN_GENERATEDHEADERS) in two like this: $(CODEGEN_GENERATEDSOURCES) $(CODEGEN_GENERATEDHEADERS): .code.generated .code.generated: $(CODEGEN_SRC) xsltproc $(srcdir)/codegen/mk.xsl $(srcdir)/codegen/source.xml touch .code.generated The patch is attached. I also added .code.generated to nodist_swfmill_SOURCES and CLEANFILES. Maybe something like that should also be done with $(SIMPLE_DIALECT_GENERATEDSOURCES) rule. _______________________________________________ swfmill mailing list s</pre> acheron-BHBsyJlNzOs< at >public.gmane.org 2012-05-20T18:21:28 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.text.xml.swfmill/2166 <pre>i installed swfmill 0.2.12 on 2 centos server. when i run swfmill, though both of them show me that version is 0.2.12, one has option "e", the other does NOT. did i miss anything in configure and make? </pre> Zheng Li 2012-04-20T03:53:38 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.text.xml.swfmill/2165 <pre>thank you On 2012/04/03, at 2:10, Daniel Cassidy wrote: _______________________________________________ swfmill mailing list swfmill-AOfRjkeVuXpAfugRpC6u6w&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/swfmill_osflash.org </pre> Zheng Li 2012-04-04T02:12:35 Search the mailing list at Gmane query http://search.gmane.org/?group=$group=gmane.text.xml.swfmill
