Sprite positions look like they work now.
They're a combination of a position and an offset stored in the bitmap cast member, and a position in the score. I’ll have to triple-check against some screenshots of the original before moving on.
The transparency on the fairy is hacked, next up is grabbing that from the proper flags.
I think the only relatively easy task left in this little game intro is sound, before I have to tackle scripting…
Apparently Director stores height before width. Along with a bit of hacked scaling, things look slightly better, although image placement is still off in other places.
The images are not showing up in the right places, but they're showing up, and that's good enough for tonight.
I've been trying to get a grasp on the Macromedia Director format, in an effort to help out on ScummVM’s support of the format.
Following what I consider the sound principle of "you can't understand it unless you do it yourself", I've been making a basic decoder which can now dump images from, at least, one game: Ivanoff Interactive's Magnus og Myggen.
I haven't yet done anything that ScummVM can't do, but I'm learnink!

In one of the MacFormat CDs, there's an animated comic advert for ClarisImpact 2.0 titled Impact Guy made with Macromedia Director 4.0.4 using Associated Production Music cues (most of which, if not all, already used in Ren & Stimpy) that doesn't seem to be documented on the Internet.
To the elderly in my network who do remember Macromedia Director! :-)
Is there any similar tool out there these days?
Why I am asking? Well, my colleague @boris Müller finds the right words to describe the challenge:
https://borism.medium.com/tools-shape-our-products-fa121366dac4
Are there any Macromedia Director users about? I need to find a screenshot of the Message Window. All I could find online was a tiny one from the early days of OS X.
It is happening! ScummVM just announced a big list of Macromedia Director games open for public testing.
