R: [Swftools-common] Problem with preloader and windows ??

[Marco Tironi / 8volante Srl]

Many thanks Cris, but I think that is not the point. The error you can
reproduce is about the path with space (program files). I have installed
Swftools in "c:\swftools" so that problem isn't applicable. Windows XP
understand forward slash and back slash in path. 

I have changed all the slash to forward slash, but with rfxviewer the
problem is always the same.

I did a test run on a sample pdf,

pdf2swf -lb 1.pdf -o 1.swf

This is what happened:

==========================================================
NOTICE  processing PDF page 1 (595x842:0:0) (move:0:0)
NOTICE  processing PDF page 2 (595x842:0:0) (move:0:0)
NOTICE  Writing SWF file 2.swf
swfcombine "C:\Program Files\SWFTools\swfs/default_viewer.swf"
viewport=2.swf -o __tmp__.swf
swfcombine  -X 595 -Y 842 -r 20.000000 C:\Program
Files\SWFTools\swfs/PreLoaderTemplate.swf loader=C:\Program
Files\SWFTools\swfs/default_loader.swf movie=__tmp__.swf -o "2.swf"
FATAL   Failed to open C:\Program

=====================================================

Look at the swfcombine lines, and you'll what is causing the problem -
a linux style forward slash in the directory path statements ( after
the 'swfs )'.  A typo in the source code?
Replace the forward slash with a Windows blackslash, and the temp swf
gets combined
with the viewer properly.

Regards,


Chris.
