png2swf is AVM2 compatible, yes. It's not using any "real" Actionscript,
but files generated with "-T 9" will have the proper Flash 9 AVM2
FILEATTRIBUTE tags.

Does that mean that operation inside a swf generated by png2swf are callable by an importing swf? e.g. when embedding a png2swf generated swf in another swf I'd like to be able to call start() and stop() on it.

Compiled snapshots are only for Windows- Is that what you're using?
I'll check out the problem with the download links.

No I'm either on Debian or Ubuntu, depending which machine. Ah, I thought for some reason that the snapshots where binaries, but I see now on the download page that it doesn't say so anywhere in fact. :)
