[Swftools-common] Patches for swfc

[Huub Schaeks]

Hello Matthias

I think something may have gone wrong when I tried to send this earlier, so 
I'll resend it.

I'm attaching the additions I promised.

The additions.tar.gz file contains a path file (additions) which can be used 
to patch swftools-2007-07-08-1916 to make it include the additions. The 
other files are new source files that I have added tot the lib/ 
subdirectory.

The assets.tar.gz file contains some illustration/testing material. The 
test-stop.sc file is a very trivial input file. It is meant to show a 
problem with swftools-2007-07-08-1916. It works fine as it is, but if you 
add 'version-8' to the first line, the .stop command is ignored.
The other files in assets.tar.gz are just an illustration of what the 
additions can do .... I think it would have been quite hard to create that 
without the additions. To see what you can do with them, for instance just 
add a few color changes anywhere in the file and you will see that nothing 
else changes.

This, of course, breaks certain .cs files, the ones that rely on the fact 
that when one changed the x parameter, the y parameter would also be fixed. 
I think there are two ways to handle this. People wanting the old results 
back could add .jump commands, or I could implement some switch, an argument 
for the .flash command I guess, that would get the old results.

Please feel free to contact me about any aspects of these additions, such as 
bugs or suggestions, or questions about the implementation.

Besides adding the additions the 'additions' patch file also contains some 
changes I made to fix some memory leaks.

One more thing. There seems to a problem with mp3 playback as you can hear 
if you play back the mp3 asset outside the swf file that is created by swfc.

Regards,
Huub
