[transform-swf-updates] BUG: Transform SWF 3.0 Beta, TextSettings does not support long headers

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

The constructor that decodes a TextSettings assumes that the header 
(type and length fields) is always in the short form, i.e. 16-bits long. 
This is not always the case, even though the length of an encoded object 
can never be more than 14 bytes. The code should be changed from:

    public TextSettings(final SWFDecoder coder) throws IOException {
        coder.readUnsignedShort();
        identifier = coder.readUnsignedShort();
        rendering = coder.readByte();
        thickness = coder.readInt();
        sharpness = coder.readInt();
        coder.readByte();
    }

to

    public TextSettings(final SWFDecoder coder) throws IOException {
        int length = coder.readUnsignedShort() & Coder.LENGTH_FIELD;
        if (length == Coder.IS_EXTENDED) {
            length = coder.readInt();
        }
        identifier = coder.readUnsignedShort();
        rendering = coder.readByte();
        thickness = coder.readInt();
        sharpness = coder.readInt();
        coder.readByte();
    }

A patch is attached for this change. The SVN repository has also been 
updated. A new release (for download and on the Maven Central 
Repository) will not be available until a few more bugs have accumulated.

Stuart
