Yep, as i said- it doesnt capture Dynamic text or so (that is so simple to do that it wasnt interesting enough ;P ) -dan ___ swfmill mailing list swfmill@osflash.org http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/swfmill_osflash.org
Re: [swfmill] Extract static text from a SWF using swfmill?
Hi, I realize this is a bit late, taken me two weeks to reply :) Anyway, thanks for writing this up for me, but it didn't work all that well. First I had to run swf2xml first, and then run it on the xml, running it directly on the swf doesn't work. And while it does find a lot of text, for my particular data it seems to miss a lot. I ended up finding 'swfstrings' which is part of the 'swftools' package, and that works pretty decently (though the output tends to be full of ??? marks, but not a problem for my particular application).
