[Swftools-common] FW: png2swf

[Richard Rusczyk]

For a little more background on this problem, the .png files are formed by running ‘convert’ on an image and turning white into transparent.  When I run png2swf on them, png2swf spits out 256 lines of the form ‘<number from 0 to 255> <8digit number>’.  If I create a png with transparency in, say, Fireworks, I don’t get the 256 lines of output, and png2swf does the conversion just fine.  So, apparently convert is doing something weird to create the transparency, and png2swf doesn’t see it.  (I have the same behavior with gif2swf.)

Greetings,

 

Thanks to Matthias, I am now able to compile the current snapshot of png2swf.  However, when I run it on:

 

http://67.59.176.26/PASCAL/Scripts/pictures/83412f59ae21a4977e6606234804cd18.png

 

I get a result of:

 

http://67.59.176.26/PASCAL/Scripts/pictures/out3.swf

 

(Previously, the result of running png2swf on the former would be a swf with a white background.)

 

Any suggestions what I should do to remedy?

 

Thanks much for your help,

 

Richard
