[Swftools-common] Help with swftools install and R

[boyc0019]

Hi

I’m new to the list, so I hope I’m posting to the correct forum. I 
installed swftools 0.9.0 on windows Vista. I am trying to save an animated 
scatter plot in R using this code

saveSWF(Placement.scatter(), interval = 0.05, dev = "pdf", outdir = 
getwd(), para = list(mar = c(0, 0, 2, 0)))

I’ve load the library(animation)

but I keep getting this error message:

“Error in saveSWF(Placement.scatter(), interval = 0.05, dev = "pdf", 
outdir = getwd(), :
 swftools not found; please install swftools first: 
http://www.swftools.org”

Do I need to do something special to point R to a swftools executable file? 
Is it directory specific? I tried installing from R “install packages 
from local zip files” and that didn’t work either.

thanks !
