 swfc:
 
+    * object rel coords, as in obj1.(x,y) and monkey.nose
+       "follow me" feature:  default, or should it be explicitly specified?

     * .replace command
-    * output filename (name.sc -> name.swf)
+       .crossfade command????
+
+    * .sound file.wav ?  
+       syntax for single sound hits, looping, synch sound stream.
+
+    * text:  newlines
+
+    * dump format for ingestion into swifty?

+    * textinput box object?
+
+    * default output filename (name.sc -> name.swf) if unspecified
+
+    * change .swf to .flash ?  
+       import swfs with .swf instead of .movie?
+
+    * more colour names?  X11 colour names?  (we are Linux after all...)
+
     * .hide/.show?
+
     * .rotate
+       wasn't this going to be called .orbit?
+
     * store instance coordinates for .put with same name after .del?
