Re: [Swftools-common] Importing SWF into Flash 7

[phonosynthese]

hi chris,

thanks for the advice! didn't know that flash has problems
importing swf's which come from apps different than flash
itself. unfortunately, the .sc script doesn't help.
i've already tried an .sc script just like yours but the
swf does not import correctly. but it can be shown in
browsers and the stand alone flash player.

flash is weird and that's no news..

thanks anyway
cheers

jan
