SWF Type Definitions

This documents makes use of structure definitions that very much look like C structures. It is important to note that this is not all that true since the data saved in a SWF file are very specific and they don't follow the default, inflexible (as in static,) C definitions.

The following pages define the basic types used in this document. The comments explain in more details how each type is used.

Note that except for bit fields, all types start on a byte boundary. Nothing will be aligned on more than one byte.
