-Notice
-
-   This documentation is a little outdated. As with swftools-0.2.1 and
-   above, you can simply do
-   pdf2swf -bl -o document.swf document.pdf
-   to link viewer and preloader.
-   However, the Steps below are still valid for jpeg2swf.
-
-Step 1: Converting the documents
-
-   Suppose you have an arbitrary pdf file, "document.pdf".
-   Call:
-   pdf2swf -o tmp.swf document.pdf
-   Now, tmp.swf is a Flash Movie generated from document.pdf. Movie means
-   that there are no navigation elements whatsoever. Just frames which
-   get displayed one by one, at a rate of approx. 1/2 frames/second. How
-   to make document browsable is explained below.
-   (You can do the same things described below with jpeg files. Simply
-   use
-   jpeg2swf -o tmp.swf pic1.jpeg pic2.jpeg ...
-   and read on)
-
-Step 2: Linking a viewer
-
-   Just take a viewer of your choice (e.g. [1]SimpleViewer.swf ) and put
-   it in the same directory where you entered the commands above.
-   Now call:
-   swfcombine -o flashfile.swf SimpleViewer.swf viewport=tmp.swf
-   Now, 'flashfile.swf' is "browsable", i.e. there are some buttons in it
-   for turning pages.
-
-Step 3: Linking a Preloader
-
-   Depending on the size of your PDFs/SWFs, you may want to have some
-   kind of loading animation displayed while the browser is busy getting
-   the actual document. Assuming you have some file like flashfile.swf
-   above, you furthermore need the file [2]PreLoader.swf and an arbirtary
-   loading animation of your choice. (To get started, try [3]loading.swf,
-   or just convert a "Loading" JPEG picture to swf (jpeg2swf -o
-   loading.swf picture.jpg)) Now use
-   swfcombine -o flashfile.swf PreLoader.swf loader=loading.swf
-   movie=flashfile.swf
-   (Most loaders are smaller than the document they load. They usually
-   need some centering so they appear in the middle of the page to be
-   displayed, not in the upper left corner. Replace the above command
-   with e.g.
-   swfcombine -o flashfile.swf PreLoader.swf -x 3000 -y 3000
-   loader=loading.swf movie=flashfile.swf
-   and try playing around with the values after -x and -y)
-
-Step 4: Correcting the size and framerate
-
-   Sometimes, the bounding box of the generated flash file is not
-   correct. This happens because when linking a viewer or preloader to
-   the SWFs, the new dimensions are those of the PreLoader and Viewer
-   templates, and not those of your pdf or jpeg files. To fix this, use
-   swfcombine --dummy `swfdump -XY tmp.swf` flashfile.swf -o
-   flashfile.swf
-   (tmp.swf is your 'original' swf, generated like above)
-   You may also want to adjust the framerate of the movie to that of the
-   preloader. (As the preloader is usually the only animated part of e.g.
-   pdf viewers)
-   Use:
-   swfcombine --dummy `swfdump -r loading.swf` flashfile.swf -o
-   flashfile.swf
-
-Step 5: Embedding the SWF into a html page
-
-   Usually, one wants to put the generated SWFs on his web page. To do
-   so, you have to embed the SWF file into html. If you don't know how to
-   embed SWFs into html pages, it's explained at
-   [4]http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/ts/documents/tn4150.html .
-   Also, you can simply type
-   swfdump --html flashfile.swf
-   and insert the output into your html document
-
-Appendix A: Creating your own Viewers
-
-   If you know about Flash, and you want to substitute SimpleViewer from
-   above with something more sophisticated, follow these rules:
-   1. There has to be some rectangle (Movieclip, whatever... ) in your
-   Viewer, named "viewport". (This name is used to reference the object
-   when using swfcombine for merging it with the converted pdfs)
-   2. The First frame should contain an actionscript "Stop" instruction.
-   (Otherwise, the browsing buttons turn pages, but pages get also
-   automatically turned every few seconds)
-   3. Browsing buttons next to the rectangle (which turn pages in the
-   shown pdf) should trigger some Actionsscript events, like
-
-     SetTarget "viewport"
-     NextFrame
-     SetTarget ""
-
-   to set the frame in the to-be-replaced rectangle. (It will be replaced
-   with a MovieClip, therefore a SetTarget is neccessary)
-   It's important that the Target Name ist "viewport", not "/viewport",
-   as the Movie will get inserted into a Movieclip (Sprite).
