[Gnash-dev] Required Ming version

[strk]

I recently improved the 'makeswf' utility of Ming to allow using
SWF and bitmaps as "frame content". SWF embedding is
in latest release (0.4.0beta2) while bitmaps embedding
is only in CVS.

This feature (SWF embedding particularly) takes producing testcases
a step forward, whereas you might stuff a contributed testcase in a
single frame of *your* self-contained movie, whereas first frame
would contain Dejagnu.swf and last frame the actual checks, totals
print and stop().

An example of this is in Gnash CVS, just committed:

  cd testsuite/misc-ming.all; make VarAndCharClashTest.swf

The Makefile rule for it uses 'makeswf' feeding it: Dejagnu.swf
(first frame), ../media/green.swf (second frame) and
VarAndCharClashTest.as (the actual tests).
