add README.txt for simple howto compile with mtasc

Line 
1 mtasc is a _fast_ open source actionscript < 9.0 compiler. the default
2 usage is from the command line, but can be called from .bat files.
3
4 == Compiling with mtasc ==
5
6 1. install mtasc from http://mtasc.org/
7
8 2. Follow the tutorial (http://www.mtasc.org/#tutorial) to make sure you can compile a simple .swf
9
10 3. example usage from this directory:
11     mtasc -version 8  -cp . -header 800:400:20:FFFFFF -swf worldkit.swf -main com/brainoff/worldkitMain.main com/brainoff/worldkitMain.as
12
13     this tells mtasc that:
14       # -cp .
15       + the class path is here   
16
17       # -header 800:400:20:FFFFFF
18       + to generate a movie of 800 width, 400 height, a framerate of 20, and a background color of white
19         these can all be overridden by the values in the html
20
21       # -swf worldkit.swf
22       + make a swf file named worldkit.swf
23
24       # -main com/brainoff/worldkitMain.main
25       + the main() function is in that path
26
27       # com/brainoff/worldkitMain.as
28       + the file to compile -- since this file imports all other files, these will get compiled too.
29  
30
31 4. this command:
32         mtasc.exe -version 8  -cp . -header 800:400:20:FFFFFF -swf worldkit.swf -main com/brainoff/worldkitMain.main com/brainoff/worldkitMain.as
33    can likely be placed directly in a .bat file and clicked to compile
34    windows users may need to replace "-cp ." with -cp "C:\full\path\to\here"
35    and like was for the -main path...
