embed bitmap in haxe

I wanted to use swfmill to generate a library of images and then display them in haXe. Krzysztof Rozalski came up with a solution on the haXe mailing list. Thanks Christopher, this was really helpful!

The code I wrote ended up looking like:

swflib.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<movie version="9" width="320" height="240" framerate="12">
  <background color="#ffffff"/>
  <frame>
	<library>
	  <bitmap id="MyBitmapData" name="MyBitmapData" import="library/play.png" />
	</library>
  </frame>
</movie>

And the haXe code:

import flash.display.BitmapData;

class MyBitmapData extends BitmapData
{
    public function new()
    {
        super(0,0);
    }
}

class SwfImport
{

	static function main ()
	{
        var bitmapData:BitmapData;
		bitmapData = new MyBitmapData();
		flash.Lib.current.addChild( new flash.display.Bitmap( 
										bitmapData, flash.display.PixelSnapping.AUTO, true ) );
    }
}

This is all compiled with:

-main SwfImport
-swf ../swfimport.swf
-swf-version 9
-swf-lib swflib.swf
