no idea.

However, I do have some scripts that Matthias sent me that I was going 
to reverse-engineer to extrapolate some documentation. This might give 
you some pointers on creating SWFs with the Python module:

import SWF
import Image

swf = SWF.create(version=5, bbox=(0,0,512,512), fps=25)

color_darkblue = SWF.Color(r=0,g=0,b=50)
color_firebrick = SWF.Color(r=178,g=34,b=34)

shape = SWF.Shape("moveTo 10,10 lineTo 100,10 lineTo 10,100 lineTo 
10,10",
        fill=color_darkblue,
        line=(2.5, color_firebrick),
        )
swf.tags += shape

po = SWF.PlaceObject(shape, depth=3)
swf.tags += po

swf.save("tmp/test.swf")

--------------

I'll try to get more documentation written in the wiki this weekend. 
Any contributions are welcome. Also, note that there is a section for 
examples. Please feel free to add ANY example scripts you've got that 
demonstrate the capabilities of swftools.

Thanks,

michael
