Comments on: Setting Mac / Unix Environment Variables - Adding Executables to the System Path http://www.brooksandrus.com/blog/2006/05/24/setting-mac-unix-environment-variables-adding-executables-to-the-system-path/ This is the blog of Brooks Andrus. Here, at irregular intervals, you may find digital noise centered around the activities of an early 21st century technologist. I work for TechSmith Corporation, but this web space and the views found on it are entirely my own.

You'll need to cd to the directory where swfmill is located and then type the following in bash: chmod 777 swfmill Hopefully that does the trick for you.

swfmill was working with simple tests the first time I tried it, now I am getting errors seeming to indicate no modify/create permission, I have read/write permit for files and folder

/millfolder/swfmill swf2xml /millfolder/test1.swf

outputs good result to terminal
