There is a new version of the SwfToXaml converter up. There were some issues with tags not yet supported (like buttons, still not supported, but handled now), as well as issues with certain types of Movieclips.
Direct link to new trial version
- Movieclips that do not have an inital matrix are now handled properly
- Swfs that have tags out of order are now handled properly (not sure where these come from, maybe optimization software).
- Tags that aren't supported shouldn't crash anything - well I guess that is self evident, but some were : ).
- Added support for some ancient swf 3 tags, like anyone noticed that one.
Upcoming
We are a few steps further on code support. We will also be adding a Blend compatibility mode, it generates xaml that is a fair bit more verbose, but you can view and scrub animations in Blend. We are also hoping to cut down filesize somewhat with the use of Styles. Adam Kinney and Tim Heuer have had some great and much appreciated advice on the generated Xaml. The above and more, hope to get it all in soon!
PS The forum going up was my usual html fiasco, I spelled FORUM as FOURM, then changed it all and uploaded (I swear I did! Really!) --but the update didn't seem to take. Making matters worse, I thought I blocked comments from non members (aka spammers), but instead blocked viewing from non members. Ugh. So anyway, the real url is:

Not that there is anything going on there yet, just feel free to post if you are having questions or problems.
Cheers!
