The text argument expects UTF-8 strings. So if you want to
pass any special characters (umlauts, digraphs etc.), they have to
be UTF-8 encoded.

Besides TrueType fonts, swfc also supports native SWF fonts.
If you have a SWF with a font you would like to use, do a
.flash name="fontoutline.swf"
.font Arial "Arial.swf"
.textshape helloworld font=Arial size=200% text="Hello World"
- .filled filled_helloworld outline=helloworld fill=blue line=5 color=green

+
+<section title="Creating Outlines">
+
+In the previous chapter, we learned how to create a text outline
+using <c>.textshape</c>. The other way to create outlines is to
+use the .outline command:
+
+<code lang="swfc">
+.flash name="house.swf"
+
+ .outline house_outline:
+ M 36.99 29.93 L 15.52 51.39 L 20.44 51.39 L 20.44 81.91
+ L 39.73 81.91 L 39.73 62.33 L 48.36 62.33
+ L 48.36 81.91 L 53.84 81.91 L 53.84 51.39
+ L 58.45 51.39 L 36.99 29.93
+ M 28.79 53.70 L 34.55 53.70 L 34.55 60.60 L 28.79 60.60
+ L 28.79 53.70
+ .end
+ .filled house outline=house_outline fill=grey color=grey
+ .put house
+.end
+</code>
+
+The syntax of the paths inside the <c>.outline</c> command is the same as in svg.
+That means you can use the svg editor of your choice (e.g.: <a href="http://inkscape.sourceforge.net">inkscape</a>)
+to create these outlines. You then need to extract them out of the .xml/.svg file.
+They are inside the "d" attribute of the "path" tag:
+
+<code lang="xml">
+...
+ <path
+ style="fill:#0000ff;fill-opacity:0.75000000;fill-rule:evenodd;stroke:#000000;stroke-width:1.0000000pt;stroke-linecap:butt;stroke-linejoin:miter;stroke-opacity:1.0000000;"

Actionscript comes in handy when dealing with SWF Buttons.
</p>
What exactly is <i>"inside"</i> is defined by <b>area</b>:
</li><li><b>area</b> This shape is not displayed. It serves as bounding box (actually,
bounding polygon) for the button. A button considers itself
- active (that is, the <c>hover</c> shape is active, not the <c>idle</c>
- shape) if the mouse is inside this area. Also, mouse button clicks
- have to be in this area for this button.

</li><li><b>pressed</b> The shape to display if the user clicks on the button. This shape
is displayed as long as the mouse button is down.
