Good evening Chris, thank you for the hint with -T 7! That indeed makes a difference when starting the swf locally: then it works with adjusted security settings; whereas with newer versions it does not work. With that info I think I have to do some more systematic tests. I'm in the middle of compiling swftools on different platforms. I could build a new version on a Linux system (in a VM on my Windows PC) already. But I (thought I) had problems with links with that built with version 0.9.2. What could had several reasons; I'm new on Linux ;-).
I am about to create a Windows build. I succeeded one; after several changes trying to solve a problem with the "boolean" declaration (in config.h, os.c, winnt.h, jpeglib.h, ...). It is difficult to find a compromise/definition that satisfies all. Obviously some programs could be compiled with one version of setting, whereas others compiled with a different setting. And after I successfully finished "make" and "make install" the final pdf2swfI indeed worked!. But when I did a make clean and then trying to apply all changes, the resulting pdf2exe reported a "struct error" (different header sizes in library and program?!). I did several tests/changes, but none of those worked. Then I found a pdf2swf.exe build dated 20120204. I have no idea what version that is, but after I rebooted my computer the next morning (today) and wanted to "quickly" create a demo file for you, to my surprise the programs I built worked! My though is that either the installation of the 20120204 version or just the reboot changed some Windows libraries. Encouraging is, that I finally could compile a working pdf2swf version; on both Linux and Windows systems. But I still feel like walking in sand, on moving ground or on clouds; nothing is really reproducible yet... To sort things out I will start from scratch on both systems, logging my steps, doing structured test and hoping to achieve a "script" that allows me and others to compile swftools reliably under clearly defined conditions. And I will do so with 0.9.2 now first; and if that fails with 0.9.0. And inform you about my findings. And yes, you are right: I do all that so I can compile a version, where I take out the 3 lines that insert the "allowDomain" command in the swf files; at least with version 0.9.0. I have to test if also 0.9.2 works with links (I hope it does, at least with -T 9), and if the "allowDomain" is still included. But if I can manage to compile the newest version with my patch and the links work, I reached my goal. I could prove that a compiled, patched 0.9.0 works with AIR; on all platforms (Windows, OSx, Android, iOS). That's all I want to achieve. I at least need it on WIndows, but would like to support Linux also now that I learned that much already (I even wrote a bash script converting a fulls PDF, reading page count and size and build the XML find that controls our pageflip solution. And I already could help y customer with that. But more importantly will be a solution for OSx; which could be the next/final nightmare ;-) I did first tests, and homebrew looks promising. But there are still some dependencies that need to be solved, that with all what I learned on Windows and Linux now hopefully can be solved soon! Not sure if you read to this line! This also helped me to document my status somehow. But it might be too much details for you ;-) So here a shorter SUMMARY (a similar one will be sent to the mail list):
Thank you very much; you helped a lot (indirectly, but very
helpful nevertheless!) And enjoy the final minutes of the week end ;-) And why are links no more embedded with -T 10 or 11? Am 24.11.2013 04:11, schrieb Lists:

I tried different switch settings already, but to no availhans, This isn't a revisit of the 'non-internet enabled location' thing is it? Try setting the swf version with, pdf2swf -T 7 when you do your conversion, and let us know what happens. You might also care to link to the pdf you are converting, so as we can try it also. jooi, I did a conversion of the swf reference document, http://www.adobe.com/devnet/swf.html with version 0.9.2 ( under Linux ), and all the external links I then tested, seemed to work ok. mfg Chris. --------------- SWFTools-common is a self-managed list.
