But I need to customize the swf output, replace some part by specific 
actionscript.
I don't find anything in gfx that I can use to do this. No ?

For example "def fillbitmap(self,outline, image, matrix, colortransform): "
What are outline, image, matrix, colortransform ?
Where are can find documentation on those types.
How can I do an image.save("somepicture.jpg") ?

So it's an "unofficial" module ? Will it be difficult to keep it 
compatible in future ?
