Hi Pratyus,

 

you probably want to add the option –T 9 which sets the player version of the resulting swf to 9. This changes the way, the swf is loaded by your flex application and permits to use TextSnapshot. You also should keep the instance of TextSnapshot in a variable which is only filled once after the file was loaded, otherwise some strange errors might occur.

 

Example command:

 

pdf2swf -f  -T 9 in.pdf --output out.swf

 

best regards

Andy

Subject: [Swftools-common] Text search in SWF

 

I trying to build a simple application in flex in which I render a swf in the application. I want to enable user to search text using a textbox (id="SearchInpt") and button (id="SearchBtn").

I used this following command to convert the pdf to swf
 pdf2swf -f file.pdf -o file.swf   (thanks Matthias)

I am able to load the swf file into the application, but search always fails. Below is the code I am using (source: http://wiki.swftools.org/index.php/How_do_I_highlight_text_in_the_SWF%3F).

Am I missing something in the code. I will be grateful for any help or pointers to resources.
 
Thanks!
