Re: [Swftools-common] (patch supplied) New utility swfassets

[David Croft]

Thanks Matthias, that would be fine. swfassets was originally just a
stripped-down version of swfdump in the first place. The key is that,
whichever utility generates it, it should be machine-readable and
include the id, name and asset type.

Cheers,

David
