Re: creating swf files?

you can't create a swf with mtasc. mtasc compiles code into an existing swf file. so you'll finaly have your initial swf with fonts, vectors and others + the code. this is faster because only the code is compiled.

I am trying to learn what I need to do to create a swf file from an
ActionScript 2.0 file using mtasc. I have a taken a sample code from a book
and compiled it with mtasc and it works just fine as long as I use the swf
file that was also included with the sample. If I instead compile
with "mtasc -swf x.swf -main -header 550:400:12 x.as" so that it makes the
swf file from scratch it doesn't work.

I ran flasm on both swf files and on the one that mtasc created. Some code is
missing from the created file that is present in the original file and in the
file modified by mtasc when the swf file is reused. The code that is missing
is as follows.

========================
defineMovieClip 4 // total frames: 30

frame 0
stop
end // of frame 0
end // of defineMovieClip 4

exportAssets
4 as 'AvatarSymbol'
end // of exportAssets

frame 0

constants 'av', 'this', 'avatar', 'Avatar', 'rav', 'randomavatar', 'RandomAvatar'
push 'av', 200, 300, 0.0, 'this'
getVariable
push 'avatar', 5, 'Avatar'
new
varEquals
push 'rav', 100, 100, 1, 'this'
getVariable
push 'randomavatar', 5, 'RandomAvatar'
new
varEquals
end // of frame 0
============================

I am at a loss to understation what I need to do to create a working swf file
with mtasc.

I appreciate any help you can give me.
