		<title>Smooth Zooming Depends on Flash Version</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was recently helping out with an web application for creating custom slide-shows for cars using photos that dealers would upload to the site. The problem is straight-forward enough and when the first slide-show was generated with a reasonably high resolution image (640 x 480, gasp) we were greeted with the following scene: The first [...]]]></description>

		<title>Covert Actions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One interesting technique for obfuscating Flash files that I came across when using real-world files for testing Transform SWF was hiding actions in the body of a tag earlier in the movie. Here is how it works. The header field in a tag normally contains the type and length of the encoded body in bytes. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Transform SWF 3.0.1 now available</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Transform SWF 3.0.1 is now available for download. This release fixes the following bugs: Decoding JPEG images with odd number of bytes in the image data throws an exception. DefineButton2 does not execute any actions. BigDecoder throws an excaption when pre-fetching 4 bytes and only 2 bytes are available. This release is also available from [...]]]></description>

		<title>Considering A Move To Memphis</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well not exactly but we are moving to GitHub. It&#8217;s kind of fashionable to rain on SourceForge and revel in the wonders of DVCS but Git and GitHub offers a number of advantages so this is not just a case of jumping on the bandwagon: Simpler, lighter structure for the project site that makes it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Well, It Took A While</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After an elephantine gestation period Transform SWF 3.0 has finally been kicked out of the door and is ready for life in the big, wide world. The big new feature is that the code supports Flash 10. Another important change is that now you can write your own decoder classes, so for example, if you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hard To Port?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Quick question: Is porting an application from Transform 2.3 to 3.0 difficult? Quick answer: no. With the upcoming release of Transform SWF 3.0 on Sept 15th it was time to move all the existing Cookbook examples over to use the new code. The process was surprisingly easy, though a little tedious, so that bodes well [...]]]></description>

Here are the steps I went through: Install MinGW 5.1.6. Make sure you select the following options: MinGW base tools g++ compiler MinGW Make Also [...]]]></description>

		<title>Going, going&#8230;.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Getting the latest Java version of Transform SWF out of the door has been an enormous amount of work. Most of the  problems were a direct result of reading Joshua Bloch&#8217;s &#8220;Effective Java&#8221; more than a few times &#8211; a remarkably good book, discovering PMD and Software Craftsmanship &#8211; yes I know this is 2010 and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Now in Beta</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Version 3.0 of Transform SWF for Java is now officially in beta. Rather than run with this for an enternity (Google, I&#8217;m looking at you) the goal is to get to a production release by the end of the summer &#8211; nominally early September. The focus of work from now on is to start expanding [...]]]></description>

		<title>Now Goes To Eleven</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well not quite, but full support for Flash 10 is included in the alpha release of Transform SWF 3.0 which is now available from the downloads page. Although this release has an alpha label it has been extensively tested using a large suite of real world Flash files with only a few minor issues. The [...]]]></description>
