On the one hand there used be a flash x y message during playback.  
Canvas is not receiving this anymore.
On the other hand, canvas is still receiving the penmode Copy and Xor  
messages which aren't supported by Max 5 in addition to the paintarc  
message (even when font rendering is turned on.)

Best,

Georg
