[Laszlo-dev] just noticed that buttons don't animate in the debugger in swf10

[Henry Minsky]

The problem is that the debugger app uses single monolithic .swf files in
it's resource declaration, e.g.,


 <resource src="images/buttons/prefsbtn.swf" name="prefsBtn_rsc" />

,  so the flash 10 compiler is using just the single swf8 file, which won't
operate properly as a multiframe flash 10 swf.

I guess we could make the LZX compiler smarter, and if it sees a swf8
resource being
included into a swf10 app, it would try to use the .png preferentially, but
that seems like
too much magic.
