[Swftools-common] z-order is breaking for some text

[Andrew Sinning]

We're experiencing a problem with some PDFs that use more than one layer of 
text to produce an "outline" effect.

The problem goes away if we output the swf as a Flash 7 file, but for other 
reasons we require the swf be output as Flash 9.

I have posted an example of the generated swfs at these urls.  The first one is 
output using "-T7" and it looks just fine,  the second using "-T8" illustrates 
the problem.  The broken text is at the top where it says "Final Minutes".  
This is just one example of the problem.  We can reproduce it using many other 
source pdfs.

Here is a single-page pdf which I used to generate the problem:

Any thoughts?  When looking at the broken swf, you will notice that if you 
resize the browser window (and thus the display size of the swf), then the 
z-ordering of the characters changes.  This makes me think that this is a Flash 
Player bug, but I'm hoping there is something we can do to fix the problem in 
swf-tools.

Thanks!
