💖 SWFMILL 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about swfmill(1) — she's a User Commands girlie and she is so much more powerful than she looks. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

swfmill — an XML-based SWF (Shockwave Flash) processing tool 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

swfmill [options] <command>

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so swfmill is an xml2swf and swf2xml processor with import functionalities. that's the whole vibe. 💅

her most common glow-up moment? generating asset libraries stuffed with images (PNG and JPEG), fonts (TTF), or other SWF movies so you can use them with MTASC- or haXe-compiled ActionScript. but honestly? she can also produce both simple and complex SWF structures. she contains multitudes. main character energy fr fr. 👑

the highlights, bulleted because we love structure:

  • built around an XSLT/EXSLT processor (libxslt) ✨
  • input and output of the XSLT transformation can be either XML or binary SWF
  • XSLT commands for importing PNG, JPEG, TTF and SWF, and for mapping SWF ID numbers
  • built-in "simple dialect" to support library creation and building simple SWFs

swfmill is Free Software, written, maintained and (c) by Daniel Fischer (with contributions by Steve Webster and others) and released under the GNU General Public License (GPL). iconic behavior, honestly. 🫶

🌈 <command> is one of:

  • swf2xml <in> [<out>]

convert from SWF to XML. <in> is a single SWF file, or 'stdin'. <out> is a single XML file, or (by default) 'stdout'. 🍓

  • xml2swf <in> [<out>]

convert from XML to SWF. <in> is a single XML file, or 'stdin'. <out> is a single SWF file, or (by default) 'stdout'. 💜

  • simple <in> [<out>]

convert from a movie definition file to SWF. <in> is a single XML file, or 'stdin'. <out> is a single SWF file, or (by default) 'stdout' (for details, see README). 🧚

  • xslt <xsl> <in> [<out>]

transform <in> to <out> as described by <xsl>. <xsl> is the XSLT stylesheet,

and can use the swft: extension. ⭐

💫 the <in> and <out> tea:

  • <in> — must be some XML (depends on <xsl>)
  • <out> — is either SWF (when it ends in .swf)
  • or XML, by default on 'stdout'

👑 <option>s are:

  • -h — print this help and quit 🙈
  • --version — print the version number and quit
  • -v — verbose output
  • -V — extra-verbose debugging output 🔥
  • -d — dump SWF data when loaded (for debugging)
  • -e — specify text encoding in SWF (for SWF 5 and earlier only; default: UTF-8). 💀 note that one bestie, it's SWF 5 and earlier only
  • -n — deactivate libxml network access
