Re: [Swftools-common] Swfc return codes

[Tyn]

It was worth a try, but even with swfc 0.8.1_1, the error still happen.

I've confirmed that it didn't fail using Windows XP or under Linux.

Test versions:

Linux (working) :
Linux tynux 2.6.20-16-generic #2 SMP Fri Aug 31 00:55:27 UTC 2007 i686 
GNU/Linux (Ubuntu)
swfc - part of swftools 0.8.1

Windows (working) :
Windows XP SP2
swfc - part of swftools 2007-02-06-1213

FreeBSD (failing) :
FreeBSD games.ankama.lan 6.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE #0: Fri Jan 12 
08:43:30 UTC 2007 address@hidden:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SMP  
amd64
swfc - part of swftools 0.8.1

Any idea is welcome.
