I have spent a morning playing with swftools and I'm very impressed.
I have been using a simple perl script to convert a seminar
outline into simple html slides, and I have already crudely
hacked that to make a single frame swf for each slide using
swfc. Then it's a simple matter to swfcombine these along with
any other pictures and default_viewer.swf to make a usable
slide presentation.
This might not be the smartest way to do this, and maybe the
response to my questions is 'use TeX', but still I have some
questions about .text
Things that I can't figure out / may be missing include
-is there an escape mechanism to allow things like double quotes in strings?
(currently a swfc syntax error)
-how can you calculate the x coordinate of the end of a string?
(eg I want to use a different typeface for code examples,
so I need a separate .text -- how do I know where to start it?)
or are there plans to interpret some kind of markup?
-.edittext has a number of useful looking parameters:
multiline, html, wordwrap. I think these don't work yet. Would
I be smarter to use .edittext ?
