Topic: Using swftools output as a source for simpleviewer

Disappointed with the viewers available to integrate with a swftools pdf2swf output, I was very excited in stumbling across simpleviewer.  If I can overcome the technical hurdles I'm facing I'd be happy to pick up the pro version for my project.  Currently when I try to load an output swf from pdf2swf, I get the following errors:

TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::AVM1Movie@19435281 to flash.display.Bitmap.
    at com.airtight.simpleviewer.display.thumbs::Thumb/resizeThumbToFit()
    at com.airtight.simpleviewer.display.thumbs::Thumb/onThumbLoaded()

and 

TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::AVM1Movie@19435431 to flash.display.Bitmap.
    at com.airtight.simpleviewer.display.image::Image/onImageLoaded()

I was unable to find anything on this in the form.  My code is as follows:

</simpleviewergallery>

My test.pdf.swf file resides in the same folder as gallery.xml and test.html.  The command line I'm using for swftools is like so:
C:\swftools\pdf2swf.exe -z C:\test.pdf -s bitmap -o c:\temp\test.pdf.swf

The addition of "-s bitmap" was an attempt to resolve this error.

Here are some of the resources I've used.
