- ssp 17y agoTheir flash specification is not complete. The blend modes are not specified there. Two of those are strange, flash specific ones that you have to reverse engineer, but the others are similar to PDF.
- wolfgke 17y agoOn http://www.adobe.com/devnet/swf/ http://www.adobe.com/devnet/swf/ you can read: "Adobe seriously considers all feedback to the SWF file format specification. E-mail any unclear or potentially erroneous information within the specification to Adobe at flashformat@adobe.com." Has already someone asked for clarification of these details? I ask because the answer would state a lot about Adobe's relation to open specifications.
