Flash tends to be picky about which SWF files it will load and which it won't. Older versions of pdf2swf supported the "-s ignoredraworder" and "-s shapes" options, which would mostly make the SWFs work for Flash import. > I realize it's unlikely that pdf2swf or any other converter would support > all these features.

With v.7, they should work. 0.8.0 is buggy and doesn't convert hyperlinks- that will be fixed with 0.8.1. > Also, I presumed that Flash 8 support in the latest rev would include > antiliasing > for readability but I see text is rendered with the default antialiasing for > animation which produced fuzzy text in small sizes. I'm working on that. The biggest problem is extracting the antialising information from the font.
