9717. FSDefineJPEGImage[2,3] does not handle multiple SOI tags.

The classes FSDefineJPEGImage2 and FSDefineJPEGImage3 contain an encoding 
table. The readJPEGStream method in each class is used to search for the 
Start of Image and End of Image tags that delimit the table. When it detects a 
start of image tag it marks the position as the start of the encoding table. A 
second Start of Image causes the start position to advance. However the size of 
the image is calculated from the encoded length - the size of the encoding 
table. This caused the decoding to overflow and an exception was thrown.

9718. FSShapeConstructor cannot draw small circles in pixels.

The FSShapeConstructor allows drawing to be performed using coordinates and 
sizes specified in pixels rather than twips. A bug in the method that draws 
ellipses resulted in distorted shapes when specifying values in pixels. The 
problem was caused by rounding errors in the equations for calculating the 
curves to draw. This is now fixed.

9797. Cannot decode multiple end of action markers in FSDoAction.

In the flash file format specification published my Macromedia/Adobe arrays 
of actions are terminated with a zero byte. However in Flash 7 and later more 
than one zero byte can be used to signal the end of the array.

Transform only checks for a single end of action marker before stopping. The 
result that for objects such as FSDoAction the number of bytes decoded is less 
than the number specified in the object header and so an FSCoderException is 
thrown.

To fix this a new Action, End, was added to the FSAction class. All but the last 
End of Action marker are decoded as this action. This preserves the original
format of the actions when reencoded while at the same time keeps compatibility
with existing code.

9805. Overflow error when decoding ButtonSounds.

When decoding a ButtonSound data structure (which defines how the sounds will
be played when different events occur in a button) an FSCoderException is thrown 
to report that an overflow error occurred.

The root cause appears to be a violation of the flash file format specification 
as presented by Adobe/Macromedia. The specification states that the way a sound 
is played can be defined for 4 button events: rollOut, rollOver, press and 
release. If a sound is not played when an event occurs then 0x0000 is encoded. 
However in ButtonSound objects where no sound will be played for the release 
event nothing is encoded instead of writing 0x0000.

The problem is easy to fix however. The FSSound objects decoded from the 
ButtonSound data structures are treated as optional. This allows the sound 
information for the release event to be treated as optional and so the overflow 
error is avoided.

9807. Latency attribute for MP3 Sounds is optional.

The FSSoundStreamHead and FSSoundStreamHead2 classes contain a latency 
attribute for MP3 encoded sounds. This specifies the number of samples to skip 
when starting to play a sound. The Flash file format specification reports that 
this attribute is only encoded when a streaming sound is encoded using the MP3 
format. However it appears that the attribute is actually optional - presumably 
if the latency is zero then the attribute can be omitted.

The FSSoundStreamHead and FSSoundStreamHead2 classes have been updated to 
handle the optional cases.

9861. Cannot decode Gradient Fills with more than 8 Gradients.

The FSGradientFill class allows up to 8 FSGradient points to be defined. The 
number of gradients is stored in a single byte when an FSGradientFill object is 
encoded. In some files generated using Flash 7+ the upper bits of the byte are 
set. The result is that the FSGradientFill class decodes more than the maximum 
number of 8 gradients and an FSCoderException is thrown indicating an overflow 
error.

The FSGradientFill class now masks the upper four bits of the gradient fill 
count. It also tests to see if the value is greater than 8 and subtracts 8 to 
generate the correct number of gradient points.
