[Swftools-common] Problems with wrong frames

[Jono Bacon]

Hi all,

I hope you can help me with this one - its been puzzling me a few days now.

I have two .swf files that I want to combine together:

 * One is a file generated from a swfc script. The script just
displays a series of images at different frames. The images were
gather by converting a PDF to a JPGs. I use Ghostscript 8.14 and this
command to convert the PDF to the jpegs: gs -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH
-sDEVICE=jpeg -sOutputFile=%03d_slide.jpg -r200
 * The other file contains audi generated with wav2swf.

The problem I have is that the images don't seem to appear at the
right in my file. My script is running at 25frames per second and I
start the file with the first image. As an example, I want the second
to appear 1 minute 49 seconds in (frame 2725), but it seems to load
between 5 and 20 seconds late. I have monitored each of the images
loading and they each have seemingly random delay times (5 secs, 8
secs, 9 secs).

There are my first five image files sizes:

508318 001_slide.jpg
112386 002_slide.jpg
193453 003_slide.jpg
194157 004_slide.jpg

And here are the delay times for each image:

508318 001_slide.jpg the swf starts with this image
112386 002_slide.jpg 5 secs
193453 003_slide.jpg 8 secs
194157 004_slide.jpg 9 secs

This is the script (called script.sc):

# Presentation script, generated by RaccoonShow

.end

To generate my .swf, I run:

  swfc script.sc

At first I thought that the problem was with my swfcombine, but when I
just run the processed-images.swf file above, I get the delays listed
above.

When I do combine the files, I use the following command:

  swfcombine -T processed-images.swf processed-audio.swf -o Presentation.swf

Can anyone help me solve this problem? This is the one remaining
problem I am facing and I am tearing my hear out with it!

Cheers,
