Re: but in generating shapes with fillstyles that refer to bitmaps

Hey Dmitry

Forward referencing isn't actually illegal; SWF only requires that
objects be defined before they are placed.  You'll notice that in the 
exaample, all of the defines happen before the places:

$ swfdump simple_ai.swf
[HEADER]        File version: 3
[HEADER]        File size: 1389
[HEADER]        Frame rate: 12.000000
[HEADER]        Frame count: 1
[HEADER]        Movie width: 111.000
[HEADER]        Movie height: 40.000
[009]         3 SETBACKGROUNDCOLOR (ff/ff/ff)
[020]        40 DEFINESHAPE3 defines id 0001
[024]      1253 DEFINEBITSLOSSLESS2 defines id 0002 image 111x40 (32
bpp)
[020]        33 DEFINESHAPE3 defines id 0003
[01a]        11 PLACEOBJECT2 places id 0001 at depth 0001
[01a]         9 PLACEOBJECT2 places id 0003 at depth 0002
[001]         0 SHOWFRAME 0
[000]         0 END

The problem is that jgen is missing the infrastructure to correctly
represent the dependencies implicit in this file.  

ANytime someone uses illustrator to generate an art asset that
ha a drop shadow, I see one of these files and it won't work in jgen so
I really need to fix it somehow.

Fixing this doesn't look easy.  Got any suggestions?
