Linx Demo crashes with FlashPaper

[FPChris]

Hi All,
Linx is a great product. However as luck would have Linx
crashes with swfs generated by products we *have* to use.

It seems any swf generated by MX works great in Linx.
but any RoboFlash generated swfs crash it everytime on import.
So does FlashPaper's swfs (same product, new coat of paint).

I've sent email to WildForm on this and I'm waiting
for a solution but thought I throw the same question to
the community in hopes of a solution.

Hi.
Linx is designed to import any .swf file. However, there are so many companies that produce .swf exporting software and the output from all these companies do not adhere perfectly to the .swf specification, so Linx can have a problem with those files.
We took a look at the .swf you sent in and it appears that the .swf's generated have a non-standard tag offset that is causing the problem.
The only thing that can be done is we can add support for this particular type of non-standard .swf in the next update.

Thanks. We'd *really* love you guys if you did.

Since MM bought RoboFlash printer and it is using this
code in Contribute's FlashPaper it may be worth you time
to support it.

Do you know what tag(s) is the problem? We have
a swf tag parser I wrote awhile back. In the
mean time, I might get by with fixing the
non-standard tags in these swfs.

Even that would be a good short term solution.
