Finished the new playback control bar for exported svg. It now scales and positions correctly with all output resolutions, and it has play, pause and rewind capabilities. Also included more output resolutions, these ones specifically for mobile phones: 352 x 288, 176 x 144, 160 x 120, 128 x 96.
Released a new development snapshot with these changes, and with Flash exporting disabled because all of that code is going to be re-written:

Please try it out and let me know what you think. :)

Mostly finished getting the new playback control bar for exported svg scaling and positioning correctly. Looks good for the resolutions and output I've tested with briefly, but it's getting late so I'll do more testing and tweaking tomorrow prior to another dev release.

Continuing work on the new playback control bar for exported svg. The play button should now scale.

Continuing work on the new playback control bar in exported svg movies, so it scales properly, and can now pause and rewind. Very manual task, cutting and pasting lots of X,Y values into a printf statement. It'll take a couple more days of after hours effort. ;->

Added new playback control bar icons from openclipart.org to the images folder, and begin replacing the existing play button with them.

Antoine Quint from the #svg irc channel was kind enough to point me to the pauseAnimations() and unpauseAnimations() functions. Found working examples of them on the net and am presently constructing a better play/pause/unpause control bar.

Added code for displaying mouse pointers in the workspace area, to save them to project files, to load them from project files, to handle general editing with them, and to export them correctly to svg. In short, mouse pointers seem to work (as far as I've tested, though not extensively). :)
Compiled and made ready a new development snapshot for windows:

Feedback is encouraged. :)

Started adding backend code to support mouse pointers in the exported animations.
Wednesday, 5th July 2006
Fleshed out the initial dialog box for creation of the mouse pointer. Still a lot of backend layer and export code remaining to be written.
Tuesday, 4th July 2006
Began adding stub code so mouse pointers can be added to the animation. Still a ways to go until it's working.

Small internal code improvement, the handle size for the film strip area is dynamically read as it's created rather than having a size hard coded in.
Sunday, 2nd July 2006
Added grayed out versions of all remaining buttons, plus supporting code to enable and disable the buttons, and updated the main program to use these new functions. Makes for a nicer looking user interface and more informative experience. :)
Also whipped up a new development snapshot for people to try out. Windows only again:
