RE: [Swftools-common] SWF files scaled incorrectly

[John Bauer]

This works ok when using an embedded player or opening the swf by
itself, I can open all of the swfs directly with the flash player
without incidient.   When I do a MovieClip.loadMovie it does not observe
the correct size of the artbox.  When I try to import the swf to the
library, it imports things wrong.  Any ideas?  Can I modify the code to
observe different constraints or set a fixed size?  I need a consistant
size for the application I'm developing.

Thanks,
John

It does. 
PDF, however, does define *five* borders (ArtBox, MediaBox, 
CropBox, TrimBox, Bleedbox), which all have some use, under 
the right circumstances. 
So pdf2swf needs to make a choice, concerning which box to
use. Right now, it's using the intersection between CropBox and
MediaBox, which works o.k. for 99% of the PDFs.
