This directory contains tests using the tracing functionality of Actionscript.How does it work?  ./trace [FILE1 [FILE2 [...]]]The program trace in this directory takes all files on the command line or allfiles in the current directory and runs them. Running consists of instancing aSwfdecPlayer and iterating $FILE until 10 frames have passed. Everytime the trace function is invoked by that player, its output is appended to a buffer. Finally the captured output is compared to the file $FILE.trace. If the output matches, the test succeeded for the given file, otherwise it failed. In this case a diff is produced and dumped to stdout. The captured trace output is written to a file named "tmp". The return value is 0 if all tests passed, or failure if at least one test failed.What are all the other files?Some test files are created with Open Source tools. In that case, the sources used for creating them are included and named $FILE.$TOOL-EXTENSION. Every one of those files includes the command that were used for creating the test files. Why don't you autogenerate the SWF files from sources but include them?An important thing to note is that this testsuite is supposed to test the correct handling of SWF files, so the reference file must be an SWF file. SinceOpen Source tools could produce different SWF files depending on version, wethe testsuite could end up testing different files. This is something that isdefinitely not wanted. Consider the source files annotations only.How do I run my new test?Create a file to test, say "test.swf", and put the expected output in thecorresponding trace file, in this case "test.swf.trace". After that, just callthe trace application with your file, like this:  ./trace test.swfYou may need to build the trace application if you haven't run make check before, just run make trace.How do I create a trace file?The suggested method is to use a Flash authoring environment (like Flash Studioor Flash MX), enable debugging and just copy the output this produces. Unfortunately this requires access to these tools, since they are expensive.How do I add a test to the testsuite?Just put the file, its trace file and if you have them, source files used forcreating the file into this directory and add all of them to EXTRA_DIST in Makefile.am. The file should appear in the output when running make check. (Note that the order of files tested during make check is pretty much random.)
