[transform-swf-updates] Status Report for week ending 9th April 2010

[News on r. b. a. p. f. T. S. f. J. <tra...@li...>]

Last week was cut short by the Easter weekend so there was not much to 
report. This week, though I did not have much time has gone well. Out of 
a small set of Flash 8/9 files version 3 can now decode 16 out of 20. 
Interestingly the files which have problems in decoding do not appear to 
follow the Flash File format specification. At this point is not 
possible to tell whether the app that generated them was buggy or 
perhaps there is some fields that are not documented in the specification.

Next step is to spend a little more time investigating the files that 
are failing, then if the root cause cannot be found for now, add them to 
the to-do list and start expanding the suite of test files to see if the 
errors are consistent. From there start testing the encoding process.
