Re: [Swftools-common] png2swf framerate question

[Anderson J Reinkordt]

swf within swf sounds like experience. playing the new swf "alone" via gnash, 
the framerate setting appears to have taken effect. I'll investigate. 

I attempted using wav2swf after converting an mp3 to wav. I have a limited 
understanding of digital audio forms and compression, though converting an mp3 
to wav seems like a  redundant thing to do, but it was the only option I could 
think of at the time. After following a rabbit hole of an error relating to 
missing mp3 libraries (apologies, I didn't document that experience and it was 
late). I plan to get back into that soon, unless I am missing something 
obvious.
