Editing a swf file with Adobe Flash cc or Dreamweaver

Hi,
I have a .swf file which is embedded in to a html file, I need to make changes in the swf section of the file which Dreamweaver can not help me with it.
I tried to click on the swf file and take it to Flash cc, but still I can not edit and make changes.
If I dont have the fla files, I can not edit the .swf file at all?
I have all the applications of the creative cloud but couldnt find any of them helpful in this matter.
Is there any help?
Thanks,

I have no experience with any decompilers beyond possibly attempting to trial one once. The only one I have seen recommended is made by Sothink.
Here is a link to a page with a tool that has an interface you can use to determine various properties of an swf file, including the Actionscript version.

Edit a SWF file from Dreamweaver in Flash

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/dreamweaver/cs/using/WSc78c5058ca073340dcda9110b1f693f21-7acf. html

If you've created the FLA file then rendered the SWF, you can locate it in your disk
If you're using just a SWF file such as a player.swf or something similar that you downloaded from a website, I'm sorry but you're out of luck! DW requires that you have the FLA source to edit the SWF file that you're using within DW.

How to edit a SWF file

Hello,
I'm a newbie so please try to help me with a simple solution.
I have a flash banner that is designed to run animation
continuously, I need it to stop running after 15 seconds. What's
the easiest way to do so?
This is very important for me so I'd appreciate a swift
reply.
Thanks.

You consider everybody, who wishes to edit SWF and has no
FLA, as a stealers. You're not right
I hope you aren't implying that statement coming from me. I
said nothing to that effect. Why would you even be reading a post 2
months old? I'm sure the answer was either found or the post is no
longer relative.

Many of such people are pretty legal owners of the Flash
contents, they want to modify.
Legal or not, if an advertiser requested a swf file to stop
after so many seconds, why not either provide someone the flash
file in order to be able to do it, or have the originator do it
themselves? I am/was not questioning the legality of this
alteration, but was questioning the fact of why the flash file was
not provided to pascalinam and/or why he was attempting to alter
something that could easily be done by the originator.

How do I edit a .swf file in edge animate? How do I save it as a swf file?

Hello, I need to edit the actionscript in a swf animation file. How do you do that with Edge animate?

There is no such workflow for swf files.
Edge animate only understands html, javascript. SWF files are alien to it.
You should be using Flash Professional CC, for generating the swf files.

Edit a .swf file to place animation part in PPT.

I have windows 7 64bit installed with adobe CS6 full suite. i am trying to learn more about flash and adobe products in general. however i have a project i need to complete with power point slides were i want to take this packetsniffer.swf file and it to my MS power point slide. i need to open the .swf file and edit a couple slides out of it. I only need the one animation in it. how do i do this with adobe flash or some other application. then i will need help putting it in the power point slide show as a slide animation. thanks

An FLA is the source file you use to make a SWF. The original creator of the SWF file would have it.
There are many SWF decompilers out there, some paid, some free. You'll just have to Google it and experiment.

Can anyone help me modify a fully functional SWF file to behave slightly differently?

I have a working SWF file which I used a free decompiler to get to the ActionScript of. I do not know Actionscript, but I know enough other languages to have a vague understanding of whats going on. I am not certain if this is Actionscript 1 or 2 or 3 honestly so I simply posted here. The main thing I need to understand is the order in which code is executed within Actionscript. What I'm trying to do is make a telnet applet which initializes with a giant connect button simply connect by default upon initializing and then if the connection is lost of disconnected function as normal and display the connect button again. I believe this should be a fairly simply modification just moving a few lines of code around, I just do not have a good grasp on ActionScript. If someone out there is willing to work briefly on this with me, you would have my gratitude greatly, or even any brief explanation anyone can offer as to what I may want to look into. It looks similar to java, but I just am not sure on too much to want to try to tackle this blindly.

Edit/change swf files in pages based on DW templates

I have seen how to make banners or pictures editable by using the »Editable Tag Attribute« function. But when I want to do the same with a swf banner I don't get the option SCR in the popup menu, but: ID, CLASSID, WIDTH and HIGHT instead. I have tried to add other attributes as well, but none of them seem to work. Do anyone know how to solve this problem, so I can define a knew swf on every new page?

I would do this by creating the circles in Illustrator and assigning them with a formula in Excel so they can just come in with the merge.
Use this formula, substituting your values
=IF(A2>75,"Green.jpg",IF(A2>49,"Yellow.jpg",IF(A2<50,"Red.jpg",)))
Then just have placeholders for the circles. (note that the title of the column must begin with '@ for DataMerge to see this as an image field. (Make sure the csv file is in the same folder with the images.)

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.

Editing an SWF or FLA file

I have both the FLA and SWF files for a website template I
bought. I am trying to edit the file in Flash CS4 using the
following instructions. But I never see any of this code - all I
get are errors and the Movie timeline. How do I get to the code to
modify it? I'm a total novice at Flash but I want to learn.
Flash CS3/CS4 - additional changes
There are some differences between Flash MX 2004 and Adobe
Flash CS3, and therefore you need to make some small changes to the
FLA file if you want to edit the FLA file
To do this you need to open the photographer.fla file, go to
the act layer, and then in the first frame you will see the
following code:
stop();
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.align = "T";
_root.pagen=0
_root.loadVariables("text.html", 0, "POST");
You should replace it with the code below and then save the
changes and export it as an SWf file.
stop();
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.align = "T";
_root.pagen=0
_root.loadVariables("text.html");

That's a problem, since the format changes between jpg and swf when converted
probably won't just go back to their previous state, less the changed section.
The converter you have, is it a freeware to convert swf to fla; or what does it say
that it can do? In some cases, a flash video can be copied (perhaps illegally)
through use of a software such as Ambrosia's SnapZ ProX and a movie of any-
thing playing on your Mac can be copied. So, a movie could be paused at the
end where the unwanted content exists, so the copy would not have it recorded.
Snapz ProX - Ambrosia Software: (not freeware, has 'free trial' version)
http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/snapzprox/
Otherwise, there are a few shareware and freeware editors for swf content; to
some degree or another they either convert content or allow some editing.
And this may only work as far as the item's creator allowed, if the file is locked.
' swf fla freeware editor Mac OS X ' - google search:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=swffla+freeware+editor+Mac+OS+X&btnG=GoogleSearch&aq=f&oq=
I'd tried some basic editing of swf files a few years ago, and was able to only
convert the string of images into single-frame jpgs and work on each one,
but could not get them back into an swf. Perhaps graphic converter or other
software could do something for these; but I am inexperienced in all that.
Good luck & happy computing!

Opening and Editing SWF files

Does anyone know if there is a way to open and edit a SWF file.

No, you have to have the fla file to edit. You can purchase/use a decompiler to convert the swf into an fla file, but I have no experience or recommendations to offer regarding that... only hear-say--towards the negative side

Are SWF files editable?

Sometimes a client asks me to do something that I think is
impossible, so I'm asking just in case the universe has changed
since the last time I poked my head outside my office. Don't want
to get caught with egg on my face.
Is it possible to edit a .swf file? I have a client that sent
me a couple of .swf files but needs a completely new sized banner
ad. I could probably rebuild the whole thing but then it would take
longer than I'd like and more time than he probably wants to pay.
So I'm asking. Is it possible?
Thanks to everyone out there in the universe

up

haha Walter, I had to smile when I read your Spears/monks
comment. :)
Even more important, Walter hit on an interpretation of pcgs'
question that
didn't even occur to me. Absolutely! As long as a SWF wasn't
protected --
though protected SWFs can be unprotected, too, with 3rd party
software --
then yes, it can be imported into a new FLA and edited.
Useful as that can be for some purposes, importing does
convert all
motion to frame-by-frame animation, which tends to increase
re-published
file size in contrast to tween-based animation. In addition,
directly
imported SWFs leave behind their audio assets and any
ActionScript they may
contain. In a sense, you're importing the vector equivalent
of a video file
or animated GIF. Decompiling -- at least, with SoThink --
gives you a
working FLA out the gate, complete with audio, code, and just
everything
(that I can see) that was in the original source file. But
again, the
assets are no longer named in a useful way, and if memory
serves me, neither
are those of imported SWFs. So any which way you slice it,
it's best to
work with original source!
Thanks to Walter's suggestion, I'll also mention that
external SWFs can
be loaded at runtime, which *does* maintain audio and coding
(see the
MovieClipLoader class in the ActionScript 2.0 Language
Reference or the
Loader class in the ActionScript 3.0 Language Reference). I
don't think
pcgs is looking for this last approach, but now that I'm
thinking outside of
the box I was stuck in last time, I thought it might be worth
the mention.

.fla into swf files

Okay here is the deal. I downloaded a template for oscommerce
that has a flash header (this flash file is main.swf). I am able to
make the adjustments that are needed in Flash 8 but once I try to
save it as .swf it tells me that I am unable to save it as an older
file. It says that I can try to save as "save as" but everytime I
save as main.swf it tells me the same thing again.
Also is there anything special that needs to be done in my
FTP program to upload flash files correctly?
Thank you for your time guys.

Edit a SWF file from Dreamweaver in Flash
If you have both Flash and Dreamweaver installed, you can select a SWF file in a Dreamweaver document and use Flash to edit it. Flash does not edit the SWF file directly; it edits the source document (FLA file) and re‑exports the SWF file.
In Dreamweaver, open the Property inspector (Window > Properties).
In the Dreamweaver document, do one of the following:
Click the SWF file placeholder to select it; then in the Property inspector click Edit.
Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the placeholder for the SWF file, and select Edit With Flash from the context menu.
Dreamweaver switches the focus to Flash, and Flash attempts to locate the Flash authoring file (FLA) for the selected SWF file. If Flash cannot locate the Flash authoring file, you are prompted to locate it."
But I don't see "Edit with Flash" option. Maybe because I have a trial version of Dreamweaver?

Unable to convert swf files into fla files

Hi,
I tried using Dreamweaver to convert a SWF file into a FLA file so I can edit it in CS 5. But when I right clicked the placeholder for the file, it doesn't have an "Edit in Flash" option. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks very much,

Linking swf-file to webbrowser

are there any options to edit a swf-file (flipbook) in order to automatically open it with any webbrowser installed on a computer (swf-export from indesign cs4)? the idea is to allow offline use of the file for customers who might not have flashplayer installed... thx!

the idea is to allow offline use of the file for customers who might not have flashplayer installed... thx!
If you want the swf to play offline then browser plugin availability isn't really an issue because you are wishing for something that will run outside of a browser.
You can load an exported InDesign swf into a new Flash document and publish it as an AIR application.
Here's an example of a stand alone AIR application built from an InDesign exported swf:
http://www.zenodesign.com/forum/AirExample.zip
And here are the complete Flash files that I used to compile the application:
http://www.zenodesign.com/forum/AirTest.zip
You would also have the option of compiling the same Flash file as an iOS or Android app.
The loading code is only a few lines and the publishing setup is fairly easy.
