# ===========================================================================
#
# swfc(1) File format specification
#
# Warning: not all of this is actually implemented yet- if there's a
# "TODO" behind a command, it has yet to be integrated into swfc.
#
# ===========================================================================
# File header
# -----------
.flash bbox=200x200 version=6 fps=50 name="spec.swf" compress
# bbox=200x200 : set bounding box to 200x200
# bbox=200x200:100:100 : set bounding box to (100,100)-(300,300)
# bbox=autocrop : (default) - make bbox just big enough so that nothing ever get's clipped
#
# all coordinates are in pixels, not in twips. fixed point values like 1.25, 333.40 are allowed.
#
# version=6 : generate flash mx movie
# fps=50 : set framerate to 50 frames/second
# name="..." : save result to spec.flash. (Default: input file with extension
# changed to .flash, or the value of the -o command line
# parameter if given)
# inherit swf movies:
# ---------------------
.swf mymovie1 "choo1.swf"
.swf mymovie2 filename="choo1.swf" # long form
.swf mymovie3 filename=choo1.swf # long form, without quotes
.swf mymovie4 choo1.swf # short form, without quotes
# Notice: An embedded animation can't have a different framerate than
# the frame rate from the surrounding animation.
#TODO: Those files currently come from the current directory- they should come from the script directory.
# load an image:
# --------------
.jpeg background "panorama.jpg"
.jpeg background2 "panorama.jpg" quality=30% #reduces jpeg quality
.png background3 "choochoo.png" #TODO
# (you can put this directly (generating a shape), or insert it into a shape via the fill= argument
# define a texture from an image:
# -------------------------------
.texture text1=background scale=50% rotate=45
# define a gradient
# -----------------
.gradient mygradient:
0% red
50% green
75% aquamarine
100% #ffffff
.end
# with a hard edge:
.gradient mygradient:
0% red
50% green
50% red
75% aquamarine
100% #ffffff
.end
# with alpha:
.gradient mygradient:
0% #00000000
50% #0000ff40
75% #0000ff80
100% #0000ffc0

green=50%
blue=50%
# is allowed.
# Furthermore, having more than one command in one line is also possible:
