[Swftools-common] PDF2SWF - export to Flash 9 ActionScript 3

[Rick Companje]

Hi Matthias,

I read your replies on related questions but I think there is still a
problem in exporting to Flash 9, ActionScript 3 with PDF2SWF.

When I execute:

pdf2swf.exe --flashversion=9 "pdf1.pdf" -o "flash9.swf"

I get a SWF file with (swfVersion=9) but with (actionScriptVersion=2)
instead of 3.

This means that it will be loaded in an AVM1Movie container by Flash 9 or
Flex 2. I get the following error when I run my testcode in Flash 9:

  TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert
flash.display::[EMAIL PROTECTED] to flash.display.MovieClip.
   at LoaderInfoExample/::initHandler()

My testcode in Flash below.

Kind Regards,
Rick




package {
   import flash.display.*;
   import flash.events.*;
   import flash.net.URLRequest;

   public class LoaderInfoExample extends Sprite {
       private var url:String = "swftools/flash9.swf";

       public function LoaderInfoExample() {
           var loader:Loader = new Loader();
           loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT,
initHandler);
           loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR,
ioErrorHandler);
           var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
           loader.load(request);
           addChild(loader);
       }

       private function initHandler(event:Event):void {
           var loader:Loader = Loader(event.target.loader);
           var info:LoaderInfo = LoaderInfo(loader.contentLoaderInfo);

           trace("url=" + info.url);
           trace("");
           trace("swfVersion=" + info.swfVersion);
           trace("actionScriptVersion=" + info.actionScriptVersion);
           trace("");

           MovieClip(loader.content).gotoAndStop(5);
       }

       private function ioErrorHandler(event:IOErrorEvent):void {
           trace("ioErrorHandler: " + event);
       }
   }
