Cannot use full url in <swf files=""> [#308515]

Thanks for this great module. Have had success getting most features up and running. After reading through the newly updated documentation page, regarding the input format (http://drupal.org/node/303226) I am attempting to play 2 files in succession using the new syntax outlined on mentioned page as follows:

<swf files="http://example.com/externalFile2.flv&&http://example.com/externalFile2.flv">

Which is not working. I have configured flowplayer as my default, which works to display a single flv using the swf file= syntax.

Thanks if you can advise of possible problem here ( I also played round with weight on input filters to no avail.

Also note that at present you cannot select version 6.2.1 of swf tools for the issue queue, so I just added it in the title.

this of course should read

<swf files="http://example.com/externalFile1.flv&&http://example.com/externalFile2.flv">

Title:	Version 6.2.1 - <swf files=> problem	» Cannot use full url in <swf files="">
Version:	6.x-1.x-dev	» 6.x-1.3

Curious - I just tested locally and it works fine if I have unqualified paths (<swf files="one.flv&&two.flv">) but it fails if I try using <swf files="http:/path.to/file/one.flv&&http://path.to/file/two.flv">. It throws up an error warning: strpos() [function.strpos]: Empty delimiter in C:\Xampp\htdocs\drupal6\modules\swftools\swftools.module on line 893..

So, filter is fine for local files, and fails for remote ones. Playing just a single file does, as you describe, work properly!

Hence a bug and some work is needed!

Changing to version 6.x-1.3 as this bug is present in the current official release.

Changing title to "Cannot use full url in " to better reflect the issue.

Found the problem, and fixed it. This is currently available on branches DRUPAL-5, DRUPAL-6--1 and HEAD, pending the next releases when I roll up a few other bug fixes.

Was this really fixed? I'm trying to put in a full URL to a remote server but I am getting an error. I'm sure there is another issue that talks about remote URLs but I figured I would post here anyways since this is not a closed issue.
