The SWFs I'm decompiling are mine. There are actually two different situations where I need to decompile an SWF:
1) The original flash developer on the projects I'm on quit some time ago, and there was a source file he forgot to check in to source control, so I can't build the project. I'd like do be able to decompile the SWF so I can regenerate the source. 2) We have an application that converts Powerpoint movies into SWFs. The output SWFs have some weird behaviors, so I'd like to be able to decompile them to see exactly what the code is that the generator is creating (hopefully making it easier to debug). As for ASV, I'm hesitant to get it because I can't really get a recent demo to try it. The demo they have is a few years (and versions) out of date. Does anyone know the differences between the demo that's available and the latest version? -Andy On 12/14/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
andy, are you decompiling your own SWFs? also, what are you seeking from decompiling the SWFs? i ask for 2 reasons: 1) if you are decompiling other people's SWFs, they usually do not like it, so stop. 2) not all SWFs come from FLAs anymore. if you do not know the provenance of the SWF, after decompiling you may end up with gibberish. decompilers originally tartgeted FLA authored SWFs but today they may be from MXML, SWiSH Max, etc. that all having been said, i concur with Alias. Buraks.com/ASV is the gold standard for SWF decompilers. it costs $$ but it is worth it. i have also tried Sothink but found it no where in league with Buraks.com/ASV. Here is a link for a review on ASV from last year: http://www.flashmagazine.com/945.htm Alias™ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Haven't used eltima, but I'd generally recommend ASV as being the best decompiler going. http://www.buraks.com/asv/ HTH, Alias __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
