How to edit or modify a .swf file?

I am trying to edit a .swf file and make some changes in the css styles.How to edit or modify a .swf file?

You need the fla file that created the swf. You edit the fla and publish the swf. Swf's don't usually involve css styles.

FAQ: How do I load an external SWF file into a parent SWF file?

A ton of Flash users visit Adobe’s we site every month wondering about how to load an external SWF file from within another SWF.
Adobe's own TechNote on the subject attempts to answer the basic question, along with some common follow-up questions, including:
How do I load more than one SWF?
How do I load a SWF into a specific location in the display list?
How do I resize the loaded SWF?
How do I set its X and Y location?
Here are some additional resources that elaborate on loading content and on working with the display list:

MovieClip(this.parent).removeChild(this);
Unfortunately I couldn't get this to work. I placed it on the
last frame of the SWF to be called - is that right?
I am not sure I am doing it correctly...

How can I change the insert SWF File, I need to add a few things and make it better?

How can I change the insert SWF File, I need to add a few things and make it better? Is there an option inside of the dreamweaver menu that I am not looking at. It would make it easier on me if I changed some things around and didn't have to do it all myself each time I used it. Just incase you was needing to remember what swf flash was, It is not a swf video either.

If I understand correctly, Sonic Kaboom.swf needs to be edited in a separate Flash authoring program and then reinserted into your HTML document.
As Murray said, Flash is dead. Nobody uses it anymore.   We use HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript animations which have universal support from Smartphones, Tablets and other web devices that can't support Flash.   Look at Edge Animate.

How can I make a small swf file out of InDesign

I have a 200 page book (PDF). I am trying to make a flip book to preview in web browser. How can I make a small swf file out of InDesign with the PDF I have?

There is another point:
if you are using JPEG images together with SWF as output file format, you could get smaller images by:
1. using the Export For Web menu for generating size optimized JPEGs in PhotoShop opposed to Save As JPEG
2. stripping all color management (ICC) information off the files (SWF is not very good in color management besides sRGB, I think…)

How can I make my Clock.swf file disappear?

Hi,
How can I make my Clock.swf file disappear? The following code works great for movie clips but throwing an error while using for .swf files.
Introduction_mc.visible = false; >>> This code works fine
Clock.swf.visible = false; >>>> This code throws an error (How to resolve this problem?)
Please help.

The easiest way is by targeting the Loader object.
l.visible = false;
or
removeChild(l);
will both work. And you can make it visible again if need be using the opposite of those commands.

Hi,
I have a similar requirement where I need to show the preview of a document in a popup.
I have a button and I added "af:fileDownloadActionListener" into the button, then I wrote the following code in my bean for the downloadactionlistener:
public void showPreviewDownloadListener(FacesContext facesContext,
java.io.OutputStream outputStream) throws IOException{
DCIteratorBinding agr = getBindingsForDCB().findIteratorBinding("xyz");
Row row = ag.getRowSetIterator().getCurrentRow();
String fileName = (String)row.getAttribute("FileName");
String fileType = (String)row.getAttribute("FileType");
BlobDomain file = (BlobDomain)row.getAttribute("FileData");
try {
InputStream inputStream = file.getBinaryStream();
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
int count;
while ((count = inputStream.read(buf)) >= 0) {
outputStream.write(buf, 0, count);
inputStream.close();
outputStream.flush();
outputStream.close();
file.closeInputStream();
docPreviewInlineFrame.setSource(fileName);
//ADFUtils.setEL("#{pageFlowScope.docSource}", "../"+fileName);
ADFUtils.invokePopup(docPreviewPopup,true);
catch(IOException ioex) {
ioex.printStackTrace();
when I'm clicking my button, all it does is open a popup to view/download the while.
My own popup (with a dialog and an internalFram in it) does not get invoked at all.
Also the file that I'm referring is from DB, can anyone also suggest me how to set the source for the inline frame if the file is from DB?
Thanks in advance,
Swapna

Editing a Web site SWF file

Funky, allow me to try again. right words are difficult for
me come by but I try.
I have a Web site that uses a 260K Swf file for presentation.
My original designer is no longer available.
I am trying to make changes to update some of the info on the
site. I have been able to update jpeg images
in photo gallery which is an external xml file to and opened
by the swf file. additionally I have updated some of the
images within the "master" swf file using Eltima decompiler
software.
I am now try to update some of the Static Text files within
the "master" swf file.
I am using a MAC with the Eltima Decompiler and CS3 Flash.
This is my first attempt to update/edit
Static text.
If you could quide me toward a correct course, I would
appreciate it.
I open the "master" swf in eltima and extract only "text" I
am not doing anything with images, buttons etc.
I convert that ouput into Fla. A "master"_conv_fla file is
created along with a folder called text that has multiple
Static Text xx.swf file within. The fla file opens in adobe
but doesnt contain the file I want to update.
using Eltima I open the Static text 53.swf, perform an
extract and then convert that to a Static text 53_conv.fla file
that opens in adobe.
Here I am lost. I have used trial and error to get a
response. I might mention that the original designer used Adobe 6.
With the Static text 53_conv.fla file open in adobe I seem to only
be able to make changes when I click on
Edit Symbols. I make changes and do a Save As so that Adobe 8
is used. I assume Adobe 9 might not allow my file to function.
After saving I Export the result back to my computers texts
file. That file then appears as Static text 3.swf.
instead of Static text 53.swf
It has the results I want but I don't know how the make the
changes take in the Static text 53.swf file.
I am not even sure the steps I have taken above are even
correct. It was all I could do to get any result.
Your guidance would be appreciated

I'm a relatively new convert to a Mac and I have to say that this is the first time I have been disappointed by my choice.
I have quite a few webs that I maintained with FrontPage and now I will have to drop them because I can't take the time to re-do each page within the sites just because I can't import the html coding into iWeb.
It would be nice if the authors could make iWeb a bit more friendly in that regard. Even if only the basic layout, text, images and/or image holders could be imported, that would help.

Loading and modifying a SWF file within an AIR application

I bet you get this question a lot, but I was wondering, if possible, anyone knows how to edit and save the changes to a SWF file loaded inside an AIR application?
Thanks in advance!

I'm sorry, but I happen to digress greatly with Michael's approach. I started using AIR just yesterday ( 3 hours or so ), and I firmly believe in reinventing the wheel as a strong method of learning. Just to be clear, I do this on my own free time, so I have no need to worry about COGs, after all, I'm just learning. Otherwise, though it's a strong and great response if I were to build a somewhat bigger application, it's way too much more than the original scope of the application. It's like using a bazooka to kill ants . Regarding the scope of the application, it should support loading / writing of SWFs, and editing of XMLs for certain pre-defined entities. As I stated already, I am certain that I'd be able to do this in a very short span of time with another approach (more xmls, embedding assets directly to the SWF that loads the edited swf, etc.) It's more of a challenge to myself than anything else . I'm really grateful for all your help, so if you want, I can keep you up to date on how I deal with the issue.

How to call method in another swf file

Hi. I am at the moment making a website in Flash 8. The
website consists of a main file with the buttons and then
additional files for each page. Each of the buttons uses code
similar to this:
content.loadMovie("home page.swf");
where content is the movieclip I am using to load the swf
file into. In the main file I have a search box where a user can
type some search terms. I have written some code that will search
through the text field(s) on the page and highlight any words that
appear matching the search terms. The only problem is that I cannot
get to the text fields on the other files. So what I want to be
able to do is attach some code to the search button that will call
a method in another swf file using the parameters that I the user
has specified in the search box. How would I go about doing this?
Any help is much appreciated

Place functions in the external swf. Then you can call them
through the container clip
content.yourFunction(args);
Realize however, you cannot call code in an external swf
until the frames with the functions are loaded. Timing would be an
issue if the user can beat the loading clock or if you have code
that is executed automatically after you start the load.
So if timing becomes an issue, use MovieClipLoader and the
onLoadInit method.

How to put a video player swf file inside a flash file

You can use swf inside of another swf.
If you are using Actionscript2 then learn about LoadMovie
And for AS3 it is Loader.
