Tamarin, Adobe's recently open-sourced virtual machine that underlies ActionScript 3, has a AVM bytecode disassembler. You can get it here: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/tamarin/ Patrick Mineault wrote a blog entry a couple of months back about how to get up and going with the source--you'll also need a C++ compiler for the platform that you're building on. Read that here: http://www.5etdemi.com/blog/archives/2007/01/as3-decompiler/ If you don't happen have to a C++ compiler handy, in nearly all cases you can get go and download an appropriate one for free, either the open-source GNU one, Apple's XCode or Microsoft's Visual C++ .NET Express, depending on your particular platform. Unfortunately, the output in an Assembler-like syntax corresponding to the ABC intermediate representation opcodes used by the AVM rather than immediately re-compilable ActionScript 3. This shouldn't be too difficult to read and understand if you've used FLASM or some other low-level assembly language before, but might be less useful if you're looking to recover a high-level representation of the code. Given the amount of data kept in the MIR opcodes though, it looks like it wouldn't be terribly difficult for decompilers coming out down the line to decompile directly to re-compilable ActionScript 3.
