SWF File Animations within GameMaker

[uneven wraith]

was support for the animation playback of imported SWF files removed at some point within the past few years?

i see here very few forum posts of people getting it to work for them, but importing my files gives me nothing but a static sprite of the SWF's first frame on the main timeline

very simple square moving around

but in gm it's just dead

doesn't move at all, only recognizes the very first frame

even forcing it with image_index++ or image_speed = 2

nothing

I cannot confirm or deny the state of SWF, best thing you can do is file an issue
