[transform-swf-updates] Status report for week ending July 9th

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

Progress This Week:

1. Code changes are being pushed regularly to the Sonatype Maven 
repository, https://oss.sonatype.org/content/groups/public/

2. Translate SWF was ported to use classes in Transform rather than 
relying on its own private copies.

API Changes:

1. Added a method to Push.Builder to clear the list of values so the 
builder can be reused.

Code Changes:

1. Fixed bugs when decoding Shapes using ShapeData rather than decoding 
the individual ShapeRecords. The classes affected were: DefineFont, 
DefineFont2, DefineFont3, DefineShape, DefineShape2, DefineShape3, 
DefineShape4,  DefineMorphShape, DefineMorphShape2, ShapeData. The SVN 
repository, Sonatype repository and downloads on the Flagstone web site 
were updated with these changes.

2. Relaxed/corrected the constraints on setter methods for GetUrl, 
GotoFrame and SetTarget to allow frame numbers of 0 and empty strings 
for urls and movieclip names. These changes were only committed to the 
SVN repository.

Testing:

2. Updated MovideDecodeIT so it can be used with visualVM to profile 
movie decoding.

Planned Changes:

Ticket #150. Change pixel order in ImageDecoder from RGBA to ARGB.

ARGB is the "natural" order for 32-bit pixels in Flash. When an image is 
decode from a BMP or PNG format image it is stored as RGBA requiring the 
ImageFilter method orderAlpha() to be applied before creating the Flash 
image definition. Changing the order of the pixels will avoid this extra 
step.

Known Issues:

Ticket #151. getImage() on BMPDecoder only returns pixels for indexed 
images.
Ticket #152. getImage() on PNGDecoder only returns pixels for indexed 
images.

In BMPDecoder and PNGDecoder if an indexed image is decoded any call to 
getImage() simply returns the indices into the colour table rather than 
the image. The getImage() method should return the complete image in 
ARGB format allowing the image to be processed.
