Finally! I used to get complaints about OS X installation all the
time. ;)
Anyway, I am trying to build a process whereby a list of JPEGs is
converted into a SWF file. However, two issues:
1) when I File->Import this swf back into Flash, I get frames, and the
Bitmaps have been added to the library, but the bitmaps don't appear
on
the stage. Can anything be done about this? I'd _really_ like to be
able to tweak my generated swfs a bit more inside Flash.
The "reimport" issue crops up every so often, for pdf2swf, too.
I haven't had the chance to investigate this yet, among others because
I so far haven't purchased any Flash version.
It seems to be somewhat tricky to get this right, though. I once
received two SWF files, one reputedly importable, the other not, and
they only differed in some random details.
2) Is there any way to, for example, insert a layer containing an
existing graphic 'on top' of the swf that jpeg2swf produces? For
example, if I wanted to put a logo in layer 1, and have it appear on
top of 25 JPEGs that appear in 25 frames as a result of jpeg2swf. How
could I do this?

That method should also be applicable in your case.
