Hmmm, I see what you're saying, but I think it's not working for (at
least) a simple use case. (i.e. when you WANT to move the pen position
to x = 0).

Quick example, let's say I want to create a text object with two lines
of text:

   First line
   Second line

So, I create the font object, then create the text object and assign it
properties (i.e. the font to use, height, color, etc).

Then I add the string "First line" to it.

Now I want to move the pen position down one line and back to the x
origin, so I can add the second string "Second line".

  // Move to the appropriate Y position
  SWFText_moveTo(text_object, 0, scaled_font_size);

But no, SWFText_moveTo() checks for the presence of 0 and then ignores
it, so the text ends up like:

   First line
             Second line

How do I move the pen position back to x of 0?

Not seeing how to do it with the present code base. :(

Can provide exact code having the above problem if you need, as it's a
Real World problem I hit recently. Heh.

Regards and best wishes,
