World: r3wp

That's Carl's problem anyway - there must be some bug in rebol's 
compress/decompress function

thought there are exes, whatever it is. but the embedded stuff is 
different? other headers?

You can compress/decompress swf's, but some of them (the foreign) 
use probably latest zlib and Rebol cannot decompress them

IIRC some script in the library says there are more options, buffer-size 
and something. rebol can output nearly gzip, but read only a specific 
version.

rebol does not need to zip if exe can do it right. data -> file, 
whatever-zip, read file. slow but could work.

Yes, the compression Rebol's using is zlib, but in Rebol must be 
used old version, because has problems with some zlib streams

anyway, you could use this: http://box.lebeda.ws/~hmm/rebol/zlib_latest.rip

I don't want to give it inside the rswf as it's not so necessary 
(you need it only if you want to examine some foreign swf file)

You can examine compressed files compiled with rswf without problems

just tried to make a helpfull suggestion. did not want to critisize.

for example if you do the examples above, you can do: exam-swf/file 
%swf8-blendmode.swf

no problem

Just one last thing for now, it's safe to compile only to version 
swf6, I donloaded the spec for swf7 only yesterday and swf8 is not 
documented at all.

Interesting: just downloaded this free ActionScript compiler http://www.mtasc.org/
and will try if it would be possible to integrate it with the rswf 
(so I could use *.as file for actions without need to parse it in 
Rebol)

Oldes, can you tell me the name of that spec. I believe they are 
pdf's, right?

yes

go here: http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=file_format
register and download

Doing it now.

Thanks Oldes, I finally got it and now can learn! How cool. I was 
downloading everything but this doc. : ^)

where is he difference between rswf and mtasc?

Was just checking it a little bit, and it looks that the mtasc is 
pretty complicated. First action script I wanted to compile using 
mtasc was not compiled successfully:) The biggest difference is, 
that the mtasc is only ActionScript compiler, but in my dialect one 
can compile everything (shapes, sprites, images, sound). You must 
use swfmill or how they call it to compile such a things (and it's 
using XML so I thing it's not much useful for making complete application 
in it (as I do).

I would like to make new pages for RSWF dialect during the weekend.

That's great!

The new site is here: http://box.lebeda.ws/~hmm/rswf/

I have problems with update of the old site:(

The dialect file have been updated a little bit, use: do http://box.lebeda.ws/~hmm/rswf/rswf_latest.r

to make sure that you are using the latest one

Thank  you Oldes! Your work is very much appreciated.

Nice page too.

Oldes: I've updated codeconscious.com for your new link. Linking 
to old and new now.

Thanks, the dialect file updatet a little bit again and there are 
3 new (flash8) examples

And again updated (fixed conversion of 4digit-issues/tuples), 2 new 
examples.

http://box.lebeda.ws/~hmm/rswf/index.php?example=145

Once again thanks.

and updated again, current version 1.0.4 (make sure you use the rswf_latest.r 
file with the new examples (there are two more of them)

Excellent.

hmm, should say 3, I forgot the second version of the color picker 
to upload, now it's here as well http://box.lebeda.ws/~hmm/rswf/index.php?example=148

Thanks.

I already posted it to rebcode group as it's rebcode which allowed 
me to this, but will like to post it here as well, because the main 
reason was to improve the Rebol/Flash dialect again....

Maybe you know that in Flash you can have embedded outlined fonts 
(independend on system) Most of the font's looks blury if you use 
them as outlines so you must use special fonts to get non blured 
pixel precision fonts. I was using some font editor just to see, 
that it's pretty difficult to make such a font so I decided it would 
be good to have possibility to make such a font just in any graphic 
editor - as a bitmap and comnvert it to pixels. Here is the result:


do http://box.lebeda.ws/~hmm/rebol/projects/font-tools/latest/test.r

sorry for my terrible english (I should read the text before I press 
enter:)  I meant convert bitmap (pixels) to vectors

I'll check it out. Thanks.

BTW - see SimpleFont http://www.simplefont.com/(font editor)

interesting, this one I haven't known, for me it's enough what I 
have (anyway it looks that you cannot make subpixel fonts with this 
editor and you must do the tracing by hand:)

well - there is another tool for that :) PixFont - http://www.kgroup.ru/

Anyway - you made great job!

I was thinking about making visual editor as well, but don't think 
it's so important, I have my font and that's enough for now:)

maybe I could hack the trutype spac to have possibility to save the 
font as a TTF as well

(spac = specification)

It could be good commercial product to sell :) There are many users 
- and most free fonts are english only (same with tools for making 
fonts from handwriting f.e.).

hm, but you make 3 fonts and then nobody will need it:) there is 
not many possibilities to make something original in 7x8 pixel grid:) 
and yes, the main reason was, that there are no font's with diacritics 
for my language (even the commercial one don't have it)
