Hey, you should check out HP swfscan, it decompiles everything just fine(as2 and 3) and it's free. On Wed, May 6, 2009 at 12:11 PM, Glen Pike g...@engineeredarts.co.uk wrote: Hi,   If you can run windows software, check out Burak's ASV - it's definitely worth the money and paying users can

If you want to have your MXML back from a SWF than there isn't a tool out there that can do that. You will get some Classes but they may not reflect the project's structure in the begining. Otherwise only SoThink SWF Decompiler can read AS3 based SWFs. Gordon and Eltima Trillix only decompile

Why would you want it to? Why not just learn the AS3? If you know as3, you can use what you have learned and apply it to other languages. SoThink is not the only de-compiler; I just Checked out swfscan, and its not bad at all. Dave Watts wrote: If you want to have your MXML back from a SWF

Oops , I just realized they don't seem to have a Mac version, and that was probably what was meant by Sothink is the only option. Anthony Pace wrote: Why would you want it to? Why not just learn the AS3? If you know as3, you can use what you have learned and apply it to other languages.

My understanding is that this gets converted to AS3 prior to compilation. This is true. You could infer some MXML structure based on the AS3 code, but it would be complicated to do. . Any Flex programmer will, in fact, know AS3 because you can't write a useful Flex app with MXML alone.

This is true as well.  Not that I am a complete pro at Flex, but I have found you want to know both MXML and Actionscript fairly equally. And, of course, the class library is the same in either, so if you know how to invoke something via MXML, you basically know how to invoke it in AS3 and

Hi, If you can run windows software, check out Burak's ASV - it's definitely worth the money and paying users can get access to the latest beta's of the AS3 decompiler... I find ASV really good for getting the AS code out and SoThink was good for rescuing movieclips from SWF's without

Thanks Anthony, very useful to know. BTW, I just noticed that the Mac version of SoThink's SWF Decompiler is at version 4.5, whereas the Windows version is now at 5.0. I need v5 to decompile AS3 code for FlashPlayer 10, so I'll run the Windows version under VMWare Fusion for now. On

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good tool for decompiling SWFs (and if possible SWCs) written in ActionScript 3? Must run on MacOS 10.5. I was considering buying the SoThink SWF Decompiler for Mac, but unfortunately it often crashes when I select an SWF I just built with Flex

When I have deleted the fla, I only have my swf, and I need to reuse a bit of code, sothink has come to the rescue quite a few times; however, I am on windows. If it has to be a mac, even though it crashes, I think sothink is your best bet. Gerry Beauregard wrote: Does anyone have a
