Shows how much attention I pay sometimes,   Thought it was a strange
omission...  looked
at 'swfdump  --help' and still couldn't see the b***** obvious!  ;o)

It's old I know, but last time I tried that particular Perl Module, it
seemed to work aok.
Are you sure you are defining your callback function(s) correctly?
Care to post your
Perl code?

I'm not really a pdf2swf user, so was simply being careful.  I think

available command flags, in both current stable and development snapshots to
see.
