Perl::Flash

What's this all about then?
Well this page is for anybody wanting to test SWF applications they're writing. It's autogenerated by an ugly little Perl script I hacked up and, given a directory with some SWF files in, knocks up a few tables with all the files with a particular tag and all the tags in a particular file plus the least number of files you'll need to cover every tag and the smallest file for each tag.

The names of the SWF files are links to themselves and the names of tags are links to the appropraite section of the SWF File Reference on OpenSWF.org.

If you have any other good SWF files, especially any with tags that I don't have examples of already, then email them to me and I'll whack them up here.

The minimum files you need to pass every tag (or at least every tag that I have in all my test SWFs) ..

sound2
sound
lossless
test3
profero
textbox

On the other hand those files above are pretty big and it is faster to parse smaller files so this list is the smallest file for each tag ...
