[Laszlo-dev] need to add a new feature to SWF9Generator, maybe need to refactor a little

[Donald Anderson]

Hi Henry,

I like having the boilerplate code being passed in.
There's a TODO there to that effect.  Do you plan to pass
the whole boilerplate or separate out into:
   Name of main class
   Name of class (if any) to extend
   extra boilerplate code

Either way, it's a good plan.
