Hi,
This issue relates to the viewing of SWF's converted from PDF documents which
are then viewed on a web site which uses jQuery dialogs.
I have found that when I view and navigate SWF's in 2 jQuery dialogs which are
open simultaneously, navigation in one SWF file interferes with navigation in
the other. To be specific as soon as I click on a viewer button in one document
the document being shown in the other dialog immediately returns to the
starting page.
Perhaps there is a way of preventing this from happening through selecting
different options when I convert the PDF to the SWF and combine the SWF with a
viewer.
The following shows how I created the navigable SWF's in my PHP script on my
Windows 7 PC.
define('SWF_PATH',
$root_folder_path.'swf/');define("SWFCOMBINE_EXECUTABLE",SWF_PATH.'bin/swfcombine.exe');define("SWFDUMP_EXECUTABLE",SWF_PATH.'bin/swfdump.exe');define("PDF2SWF_EXECUTABLE",SWF_PATH.'bin/pdf2swf.exe');define("SWF_VIEWER",SWF_PATH.'viewers/windows/technoargia.swf');
// ---- // Converts the PDF to a SWF file // ----
$executable=PDF2SWF_EXECUTABLE; $command="$executable -o
$temp_swf_file_not_browsable $temp_pdf_file";
$result=@runCommand($command,true); if(!empty($result))return $result; //
---- // Adds navigation buttons to the SWF file // ----
$executable=SWFCOMBINE_EXECUTABLE; $navigation_file=SWF_VIEWER;
$command="$executable -o $temp_swf_file $navigation_file
viewport=$temp_swf_file_not_browsable"; $result=@runCommand($command,true);
if(!empty($result))return $result; // ---- // Gets the coordinates of
the viewport bounding box // ----
$coordinates=returnWidthAndHeightOfSWF($temp_swf_file_not_browsable); //
---- // Uses the coordinates of the bounding box to set the size of the SWF
// ---- $executable=SWFCOMBINE_EXECUTABLE; $command="$executable
--dummy $coordinates $temp_swf_file -o $temp_swf_file";
$result=@runCommand($command,true); if(!empty($result))return $result;
function returnWidthAndHeightOfSWF($swf_file){
$executable=SWFDUMP_EXECUTABLE; $command="$executable -XY $swf_file";
$result=runCommand($command,true,true); $coordinates=$result[0]; return
$coordinates;}
I can achieve segregation by showing the SWF in an iframe inside the jQuery
dialog. However the problem with is that use of an iframe does not appear to
lead to a satisfactory solution when accounting for when the user changes their
browser window size. Specifically use of an iframe appears to rule out a
client-side solution. A server-side solution is not ideal because window size
has to be detected in a preceding page and applied in a subsequent page or page
reload.
Any tips or pointers to achieving independently acting SWF's would be much
appreciated.
Regards,
David.
