Does anyone know if there is an easy way of exporting XML from ASP7 ?
I am trying to find out if ASP could be used as a tool for animation to make a videogame.

cheers,
Boris

No.

There's also no complicated way to export XML from AS.

Well, the built-in SWF/Flash export is arguably videogame ready - for Flash games. Your website would suggest that's an ideal format for you, and from the latest Flash tool there's options for converting and publishing to other platforms.

If you really want XML you'd be processing the .anme source files. But it would be a huge undertaking. Search the forums and you'll see a few folks hacking away just to get something simple like camera positions exported. You would basically be recreating AS as your game engine, but I think your time would be better spent using the exported graphical assets from AS, and save the coding work for your actual game.

Maybe you can export to XML within a script. Within a script you have access to the Documenta data using the Mohho Scripting interface. Then using a XML library you might export the data to XML format:
