RE: [Swftools-common] positioning of objects, swfc, linux

[Huub Schaeks]

Hello Peter

I have tested your script and found that x<0 indeed did not get a shift to the left, regardless of .pin settings by the way. But after building swfc again from CVS that works fine, so I guess what ever it was, it's fixed now.

The position at 0,0 seemed fine to me. If you look at the .swf in a browser it will not show the image in the top let corner, but that is due to the alignment and scaling of the flash player in the browser window.

Regards
Huub
