Re: [Swftools-common] AS3

[Jason]

Hi Ricardo

I think I will keep this patched system seperate from the PEAR install.
That way I won't mess up the app if I ever update the PEAR one.

My app is working in severalstages :
1) extract eveything in PHP
2) import all swf into Flash
3) adapt the positioning of swf elements
4) send new coordinates back to PHP
5) rebuild the combined swf from the original extracted swf and the 
repositioning data sent by Flash

The recompiling (stage 5) is not working ... is this because I need to 
extract and recompile within the same PHP script execution for the AS3 
code to be picked up correctly when recompiled ?

Your explanation was very good.
I am the fool for installing two copies of swftools on the same server, 
and then being surprised when I got confused !!!!

Thanks

Jason
