[Swftools-common] Using swfcombine to produce AVM2/AS3 compatible movies

[Stefan Richter]

Hello all,
I'm in need for some help in regards to swfcombine.

I am using swfcombine successfully in combination with pdf2swf to  
convert PDF files to SWF, and I then assign a viewer.swf to it. My  
viewer.swf is an AS3 file and the resulting SWF is AVM2 compatible and  
I can 'talk' to it fine from my Flex application.

I'm also evaluating some Powerpoint to SWF conversion tools. One of  
these tools produces AVM1 SWFs. Using this conversion tool I have  
produced a SWF called air.swf. I would now like to use swfcombine to  
'convert' it into a AVM2 SWF, but I am having no joy. Is it even  
possible?

Here's what I am trying:
swfcombine -o newfile.swf viewer.swf viewport=air.swf

Whereby newfile.swf is the specified output, air.swf is the AVM1 file  
I would like to convert to AVM2 and viewer.swf is my AVM2 based viewer  
file.

The output I get is:
WARNING Didn't find anything named viewport in file. No substitutions  
will occur.

I am thankful for any tips. Maybe only certain SWFs (those produced  
with pdf2swf) can be 'transformed' to AVM2 in this way?


Regards,

Stefan
