After a bit of script hacking (sorry, I used bourne shell), I generated template code for all the missing ActionScript classes. All these do is print the class and method name, and "unimplemented" for now. However all the hard part of adding a class and it's methods to Gnash is done. This should make it easy for anyone that feels like doing little side projects, filling in these stubs with functional code should be much easier now. All the new files are in the server directory, and start with a capitol letter.

Along with each header and source file for an AS class, there is also a new documentation entry in doc/C, and a test case in testsuite/actionscript.all now for each class. All the test cases use Ming's new "makeswf" compiler, which runs on GNU/Linux.

If you have DejaGnu installed, you can now type "make check" in the testsuite directory and have it execute the existing tests. These new tests are limited, and for now just check for the existence of each class and method in that class. But they're a good start on a SWF testsuite for Gnash.

I only mention these little projects because they're great for people that would like to contribute to Gnash, but don't have the time to learn all the internals first.
