Hi, I'm new to Flash, never used it before (not even in Windows), and I
am venturing into it with all of the free tools, using Linux, and got
some stuff installed this weekend... so forgive me if these seem like
questions with obvious answers. I do have a programming background in
C/C++, Perl and Java, though, so hopefully I can pick up on things quickly.

No Python? Too bad- I'm still looking for beta-testers for the python
interface. ;)
I've done a little bit with Python, but nothing very substantial (and I
have had paying jobs for the languages I cited :-) )
1. Is there formal documentation on the scripting language used for
swfc? There is a manual online on the SWFTools site, but I am looking
more for a reference, with each command listed and all of the available
options for each command (like how there is a man page for each C function).
I assume you already stumbled upon
http://www.quiss.org/swftools/swfc-fileformat.txt
?
That's currently what comes closest to a reference. I'm afraid that
beyond that and the tutorial, there's only the swfc source code. :(
Yep, I did see that. Thanks, just wanted to make sure I didn't miss
something.
2. Is this scripting language something invented for SWFTools or is this
an implementation of a more standardized thing?
Apart from the ActionScript (the stuff you put between ".action:"
and ".end"), it's something invented for SWFTools.
OK. I will have to look more into the ActionScript stuff also. Looks
like a lot of good resources on that.
