Just so we're on the same page: You use CorelDraw to save the SWFs,
and CorelDraw get's the bounding boxes wrong?

You can use the -O switch to recalculate the bounding boxes of the
vector objects.

Hm... you *can* do that without a patch right now by doing
swfcombine -d -x -<x1> -y -<y1> -X <width> -Y <height> file.swf -o file.swf
swfbbox -c file.swf -o file.swf
with <x1>,<y1>,<width>,<height> your desired bounding box.
Does either one of these solutions (-O or the swfcombine method) work
for you, or do you still need to set the bounding box explicitly?
