Points don't make very much sense in digital media. One point is defined
as exactly 1/72 of an inch (or just a little bit over 1/3 of a millimetre).
As different screens have different resolutions, there isn't a fixed
ratio for converting from points to pixels. Probably your problem is
caused by the Flash software and GD2 using different methods to convert
from points into pixels.

I'd recommend switching to using pixels in both Flash and GD2, or figure
out what the difference is as a percentage, and have your PHP script
adjust the numbers accordingly.
