Re: [Swftools-common] Adding custom AS when pdf2swf encounters a link

[Chris Pugh]

Try,

       pdf2swf -s help

Amongst the many options there, you should find the following two,
:
         internallinkfunction=<name> when the user clicks a internal
link (to a different page)
                                                          in the
converted file, this actionscript function is called

        externallinkfunction=<name> when the user clicks an external
link (e.g. http://www.foo.bar/)
                                                          on the
converted  file, this actionscript function is called

They should let you accomplish what you want to do.

On the flip side, just maybe the viewer creators should have been a
tad more circumspect with
their coding? ;o)

HTH.
