Pop a multi-byte string s3, get i1 characters from the position i2 (1 based) and push the result back on the stack.
The start position is given in characters. This action works properly with international characters.
i1 is expected to be positive or zero.
Since version 5, the String object substr(), substring() or slice() functions should be used instead.
Pop two values, compute the Logical OR and put the Boolean result back on the stack.
Pop two values, compute the Logical AND and put the Boolean result back on the stack.
This definition is used so the scaling factors applied on an object affects only the center of the object fully. The borders are only affected in one direction and the corners are not scaled (note, restrictions apply, see below.) This is quite useful to draw a scalable button or window.

Since SWF8, this tag was added to allow a clear definition of where a glyph starts. This is a hint to ensure that glyphs are properly drawn on pixel boundaries. Note that it is only partially useful for italic fonts since only vertical hints really make a difference.
The f_font2_id_ref needs to reference the font identifier of a DefineFont3. Each DefineFontAlignZones shall have a different f_font2_id_ref.
Additional interactivity has been added in V4.0 of the SWF format. This is given by the use of edit boxes offering the end users a way to enter text as if the SWF movie was in fact an interactive form.
The text is defined in a variable (accessible in action scripts). It can be dynamically assigned and retrieved. It is legal to have an empty string as the variable name (not dynamically accessible).
Since version 8, the text drawn by a DefineEditText tag can be tweaked by adding a CSMTextSettings tag.
The f_edit_word_wrap flag will be set to true (1) in order to have words going beyond the ...
It is common to use the DefineFont2 tag in order to create an array of shapes later re-used to draw strings of text on the screen. This tag must be used whenever a DefineEditText references a font; and in that case it is suggested you include a full description of the font with layouts.
The array of glyphs must be ordered in ascending order (the smaller glyph number saved first; thus 'a' must be saved before 'b', etc.).
All the characters should be defined in a 1024x1024 square (in pixels) to be drawn with the best possible quality. This square is called the EM square.

Moved the monolithic documentation to a multi-page hierarchical document that includes everything we had before plus many links, many terms attached to all pages (tags, English words.) And revision of most of the text for better English and clarification in some places.
Strengthen the formatting with CCK fields so all declarations look alike.
Broken up the actions from one large table to a set of pages.
Started work on the Load() feature of the SSWF library. This helped fixing several small mistakes in the documentation.
Fixed the ...
