How do you decompile a swf?

How do you decompile a swf? We had a computer crash and I am
trying to recover some files. Is there a way to decompile a swf
back to it's original? Thanks.

Do a google search on "SWF to FLA conversion" - I've heard of
software that does it, but never seen it actually working. I don't
think there is anything built into Flash to do it.
The very nature of a SWF is that all layers and animations
are "compiled" to a single timeline.
Thanks for the reminder to backup my FLAs.

  • How do you display a swf video / videos when you mouse over

    How do you display a swf video / videos when you mouse over, It'll be something like a pop up but just that it doesn't open in another windows but within the same window and will be like a pop up roll over image.

    Thank you for the reply.
    I've been putzing around with it and came across the 'SetEventHandler' object and thought I'd try and make that one work.
    Here's what I've got so far.
           <mx:SetEventHandler target="{turnAroundMovie}" name="handleMovieClip" handler="stopMovie()"/>
    And then my fuction.
       <mx:Script>
            <![CDATA[
                private function stopMovie():void{
                    turnAroundMovie.stop(); <!-- here's where I'm getting stuck -->
            ]]>
        </mx:Script>
    My first instinct was the simple stop(), but that didn't fly.  I even added a stopMovie frame in my .swf and tried a gotoAndStop('stopMovie'); but that didn't fly either.  And that's kind of where I'm stuck at.

  • How do you convert a SWF to JPEG?

    We have 10,000 SWFs (and their FLAs), but need to create a
    JPEG of each SWF to see a thumbnail of them in a DAM.
    Aside from the very manual method (make screenshot of the
    SWF, resize it and convert it to a JPEG in Photoshop/Bridge) what
    are my options in order to either A) automate this process OR B)
    come up with another process using either the CS2 or CS3 suites?
    If there is another process to do this, what would this be?
    Remember, I am starting with a SWF and I want a JPEG, but I
    am keeping both. I have seen plenty of information on how to embedd
    JPEGs into SWFs, but I am not interested.
    Anyone have any ideas on this topic?

    You say you have their FLA's. The image should be in the FLA
    right? The original is linked inside as well right so you should
    already have the original somewhere that you could work from
    instead of going through the FLA file. Now, if you added other
    graphics and so forth to in the FLA and want to export that
    instead, goto file/export/export image and select JPEG Image.
    Not sure if you can automate this though. You might be able
    to make an Applescript to do this, perhaps. Otherwise I suggest
    getting some interns in there ;-)

  • How do you convert a swf or mp4 file into flv using creative cloud programs?

    I am trying to embed a video as HTML5 with Flash fallback into my Dreamwaver site and only have the swf file of the video. 
    Please let me know if you have any ideas about how to convert a swf or mp4 file into flv, without loosing pixels and quality of the swf file.
    Thank you!

    If you have MP4 video, you can use Pickle Player which has built-in Flash fallback for Mozilla.  No conversions required .

  • How do you protect the .swf files ?

    Do you protect your flex files from being decompiled?
    Is there any flex techiques for more security? What about HP SWFScan?
    All opinions wellcome....

    There are several different options... each with varying degrees of security, technical complexity, and cost. Entry level protection usually involves some kind of obfuscation which makes your code difficult to read / re-use - but not impossible. If this isn't enough you'll want to look into swf encryption... which raises the bar significantly. The last item worth mentioning is loading a swf from a protected source. You could also improve this last approach by loading your swf from _inside_ another swf. Here are some links to get your started.

  • How could you open, download  .swf file on ipad?

    I 'd like to open a swf. file on ipad? How can I do?
    Do I download an app? Which ones?
    My file is a interactive magazine!!
    Thanks
    PS: I'm french, so please could you explain me in cool english!

    If you can convert a .swf file to PDF, you would be able to open it in iBooks.
    Apparently those converters do exist.
    Google or similar are your friends.
    Was that English cool enough for you? 

  • How do you play a swf file from the desktop

    I have created a swf file using flash. It can be downloaded
    onto the desktop. It is zipped. When unzipped it is called
    yadayada.swf. It does not get associated to the flash player or the
    shockwave flash player which are both installed. So if i double
    click on it it won't play.
    What do I have to do to make it play from the desktop in its
    plain swf file format. I want people to be able to download it onto
    their desktop for both Mac and PC users. I published it as a
    projector .exe file but mac users cant run it.
    What should be my next step?
    I have installed Flash on my development box so this isnt an
    issue but it is for my test computer that doesnt have flash
    installed.

    HI
    mm 2 things you can do.
    1. Create a html page that loads this SWF file, This will
    work on both OS's.
    2. Create a Projector file for PC and HQX for the Mac. You
    cannot have one
    file todo both.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do you update an .SWF file with Javascript

    Hello - I have this Flash map that I've created. It uses
    javascript calls from within Flash to swap out hidden DIVS when a
    user clicks on a county. When the user clicks on the zip code
    region of that map, a javascript triggers the check box.
    What I need to do now is to have a way that when a user
    unclicks the check box, the zip code region in the map will be
    unhighlighted. Essentially, I need to have javascript tell a movie
    clip within the .SWF file to goto a certain frame and stop.
    I've never done this before, so I'm seeking someone's wisdom
    on how to proceed with this.
    For a visual on what I'm describing, the file can be viewed
    here:
    http://pixegen.com/sandbox/map.html

    use the flash'es externalinterface class for two way
    communication between js and actionscript.

  • Help!! How do you build the SWF files?

    Hi, I since I am new to Flex & Flex Builder2, I have
    tried to recreate an empty swf file, similar to the sample file
    "EmptySwf.swf"
    However, when I replace the default EmptySwf.swf with mine, I
    keep getting: TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot
    convert flash.display::Sprite@fda2a81 to mx.core.IUIComponent.
    Steps to reproduce:
    i) I am using Flex Builder 2.0.143459
    ii) in the mxml file created when choosing 'Flex Project', I
    add the FAbridge information as instructed
    <fab:FABridge xmlns:fab="bridge.*" />
    (I have also tried using <bridge:FABridge
    xmlns:bridge="bridge.*" id="bridgeInst" /> )
    iii) Select BuildAll and then copy to the samples folder
    (overwriting the original).
    iv) The error occurs in the browser.
    What gives?
    The FA Bridge is supposed to be an easy 'learning curve' to
    get into Flex.
    This is quickly pushing me away!!!!!

    Thanks for the prompt reply. Obviously you guys are watching
    this forum keenly.
    For those others that are new to Flex, I found that creating
    an
    ActionScript Project in Flex builder to be the way to create
    a 'blank' swf file that works.
    Note:
    - you'll also need to add a library reference:
    ${FRAMEWORKS}\libs\framework.swc
    - you'll still need to add the FABridge reference:
    x:\somepath\\FABridge\src
    Then, make your main actionscript file look like EmptySwf.as
    as shipped with the samples.

  • How do you load an swf into another FLA document

    Well, the headline pretty much says it all. I have gotten some swf files from another designer. I need  to show them in my presentation. I am using Flash CS3 for mac. Any advice would be helpful.
    Thanks,
    Rich

    I did find a tutorial on this. It was helpful. I am using Actionscript 3.0
    Here is the code I used and it works. Except, I need to load another one after this one. Basically it is like a slide show of swf files. I need to play 3 swf files after another without any interaction by the user.
    I am thinking I need to tell it to unload the first one and load the second one after the first one is finished and so on. I appreciate any advice.

  • HOW can I make a .SWF default load after its first load?

    When you have the SAME parent API on every page of an (X)HTML website, can a .SWF tell itself to load from a default position when a website user navigates to different HTML pages?
    Here's my parent API as it stands:
    http://www.playingthepoet.com/
    HOW can you tell the .SWF to load from a default position once the .SWF has loaded a first time? AND from any page of the website, not just the Home page? This is an advanced .SWF networking issue. And I'm not sure if the best solution is a Javascript of if there's a direct AS3 programming solution.
    The blurs and fade-ins are a bunch of timer variables and timer event methods timer event listeners. I want that intro ONLY ONCE. And NOT every time a user changes HTML pages. Please help, and MANY thanks for your time!!

    Hi ,
    You can set a variable say "count" on stage composition ready -
    sym.setVariable("count" , 0);
    On stage click , you keep checking the value of this variable -
    if(sym.getVariable("count") == 5)
      sym.$("Symbol_2").show();
    //Here "Symbol_2" is the next button that you want to appear on screen(which is initially invisible) when the symbol_1 is clicked say 5 times.
    Now, on click of a button , you keep updating the variable count -
    var countnew = sym.getVariable("count");
    countnew = countnew+1;
    sym.setVariable("count" , countnew);
    Attaching the sample for reference.
    Thanks and Regards,

  • How do you save a pdf as a SWF?

    What sort of PDF?  I'm thinking that the sort that would benefit from being saved out to SWF would be better done in InDesign, but give more details about the file.

  • How do you build SWF play controls?

    Hi sorry for the post I know this is probably a well covered topic, but I've been googling all day and everything I find is linked to using buttons with an imported flv; which is not what I want.
    I actually am working on 2 different senerios.  the first I have a new video that is all keyframe and AS based but I need a way to control it.  I've placed a graphic on the timeline then built an invisible button over it the graphic is just a basic play button with a gradient. can some one help me with the code to get the invisible button to play/pause the video from the 2nd key frame? Also I'll need to add a stop button.
    I used the code
    play_bttn.onRelease = function(){
    _root.play();
    on earlier videos I've made but I can't figure out/remember how I got it to work, I'm just getting statement must appear within on handlers errors with this new video.
    The second issue I'm having is different. I have a SWF that is already built and I need to control it, so I'm importing the video to the stage with AS code
    stage.loadMovie("medialocation/movie.swf");
    which is working fine, now I need to create buttons to control it. Shouldn't the code be the same for both files? They are similar, where everything is being controlled after you export the swf's
    I have no flv's, avi's or mov's involved just 100% flash
    Thank you

    The error message you're getting is indicating (to me) that you are trying to place that code on the button.  The code you show for the button goes in the timeline, not on the button.  As for the other bit, yes, as long as your swf file is a timeline based animation, then similar code as what you use for the video should be appropriate.
