Is there any documentation on the format that the XML exporter produces? Does it include all the information required to reconstruct an SWF movie? (one without any interactiveness)

The exported SWF XML should include all information to successfully reconstruct the SWF file later 1:1, including things like images, actionscript, etc. Currently we don't have any documentation for it, sorry. We could create some. The XML naming convention generally follows SWF file format specification as written by Adobe (you can find one on the internet) The field names use same names as in FFDec source code to represent such objects. If we create a documentation, I would not want to just copy adobe specification to explain what each field does and what fields it depends on. But some guide of the exact field names would be surely handy.
