SWF Decompiler Question

Hello,
I'm trying to get a working .fla file of the .swf at the bottom of this page...
http://www.fsip.biz/About.html
I tried the free version of SoThink's decompiler, but all I got was a black box with lots of layers. I'm using Flash CS3.
Any advice?

Contact SoThink and see what their customer support has to offer.

Swf-fla question

i made a fla a while back with a little animated navigational
aid, which because my scripting skills are so poor, was quite
tedious to program. now i need to edit it but i've lost the fla.
can flash convert the swf back into a fla?
any suggestions?
thanks,
macron

thanks for running it through your program. it's interesting,
the layer names don't look the same as i remember, and it seems as
if it put each invisible button on its own layer, whereas i had
them on one. and the text shows up as question marks. it did
retrieve the animation script though, which i was dreading having
to rebuild from scratch. that's terrific. i'll take a look at
so-think. thanks for the advice.
much obliged,
macron

SWF File question...PLEASE HELP

I've been asked to edit a Flash web site. The page they want
me to edit has a form on it, but they only have the .swf file. I've
opened it in Flash and am able to make the required changes, but
they thing I wanted to know is will the form be affected if I then
re export it as a .swf file or will it still work as it did before?
Thanks for your help,
Lucy

Lucy4,
> The HTML file is for a seperate form on the site.
Okay. Sometimes people provide two versions ... a "jazzy"
Flash version
and a "plain vanilla" HTML version. If that form is a
different one
altogether, then the variables required by form-mail.pl might
have nothing
to do with the variables required by the script to which your
SWF must
submit. Until we know how form-mail.pl works, we simply don't
know what to
send to it.
It *might* be the case that form-mail.pl was written to
receive *any*
variables. You won't know until you try. Send whatever
variables you like
and see what comes out at the other end (whoever it is that
receives the
email sent by the Perl script).
Then again, it might be the case that form-mail.pl requires
a certain
set of variables. If those variables are different from the
ones you showed
me in that HTML form, you'll have to find out what those
variables are.
That only makes sense, right?

An HTML page *could* have both an HTML form and a Flash
form, by why
would a developer do that? It would confuse people ... you
can already hear
them asking, "Which form should I fill out?" When a developer
produces two
versions, they're both completely separate. Some developers
like to provide
site visitors with a Flash version of the site and a
non-Flash version of
the site -- but they're never provided side-by-side on the
same HTML page.
Your Flash form has nothing to do with existing HTML on the
page --
other than the <object> and <embed> tags
necessary to embed the SWF in the
document. There shouldn't be a form on the SWF's HTML page at
all.

This code might work and it might not. Without know what
it's supposed
to do, I can't answer the question.
First, you're checking of an
object, realname, has a length property greater than zero.
The way this is
written, you're coincidentally checking of the realname
object has a length
property at all. My question to you is, what sort of object
is realname?
Is it a String? Is it an Array?
My guess is that it's a String (after all the String class
does define a
String.length property), but if so, where is this string
coming from? Does
realname represent an input text field somewhere in your SWF?
If so, you
should probably be referencing that text field's
TextField.text property.
In other words, you presumably have an input text field in
your movie, and
that text field's instance name is realname. Since realname
is an instance
of the TextField class, you'll use the TextField.text
property to retrieve
the text inside that text field. And since TextField.text
returns a string,
you can use the expression realname.text in place of your
string in the
expression myString.length. Combined, that would be ...
if (realname.text.length == 0)
... or ...
if (!realname.text.length)
Does that make sense to you? If it doesn't, that's fine, but
it means
you need to familiarize yourself with what it means to use
objects in
ActionScript.
The next part ...
EmailStatus = "Please Enter your name before Sending";
... might mean something, too. But I have no idea what
EmailStatus is. Is
that a variable you'll be using later? There is no
EmailStatus entry in the
ActionScript Language Reference, so this must be something
you've defined or
written somewhere. Without that description from you, I have
no way of
telling you what EmailStatus is for -- or, for example, if it
can be set to
a String, as you've done here.
> loadVariablesNum ("snowMailPHP.php", "0", "Post");
> EmailStatus = "Sending...";
Now, this part may be fine. I don't know what
snowMail.PHP.php is.
Presumably, it's a form handler. If so, it's either a form
handler that can
handle exactly the variables you'll be sending or any
variables at all.
Your second parameter, "0", is incorrect. That needs to be a
Number, not a
String (see the loadVariablesNum entry of the ActionScript
Language
Reference for details).

Flash cc .swf file question

Hello
i am at a stuck point on a project I am working on which includes editing a pre built flash player banner in the .swf file format. My problem is I need to change where the links are directing to in the flash banner but have no xpieriance in it. I installed flash cc and noticed it won't let me open a .swf file so I could try and give editing the link a go.
I Did download so-think swf editor and decompressor with no luck as I don't understand it's mechanics, but really want to be able to find a permanent solution for future projects to come within the adobe cloud applications I am already working with.
my question is what are my options for being able to edit swf files do I have to turn them into .fla files and if so how would I do that as I already attempted to simply rename the files .fla instead of .swf but flash cc found problems with that.
I am very much stuck and am encouraging any guidence I could possibly get to find a resolution to my problem, please help!
thanks
Erik

You cannot edit swf files... they are the result of publishing the fla files that create them. You need to acquire the fla files and edit and publish them in order to have the swf with the changes. If you are not able to acquire the fla files then you probably do not have the legal right to use the file.

Basic swf & layers question

If i make a swf of a dot at center stage and publish it, then
add it to a layer in DW, it shows up as a grayed out box blocking
whats underneath making it difficult to work on whats underneath,
also much larger than the actual movie needs to be.
1. Can I Do anything about the grey to view whats underneath?
2. Can I crop the movie so that the layer is smaller only
showing the area of interest?
Thanks

hard to understand - this may just be a DW question.
What "gray box"? is it a rectangular graphic in your flash
doc or the stage color? Or are you
looking at it in the DW authoring tool?
You can't "crop" flash movies - but rather you can edit the
width and height in the html (or DW)
after it has been embedded into the page.
If you must "crop" - go back to source FLA and edit the width
and height of your movie - but flash
only "crops" from right and bottom edges of the stage - so if
your circle needs to be center - then
you will need to use the align panel to center it again.

AS3 swf tiny question

I have a feeling that I know the answer to this. I am not
terribly savvy on Actionscript (basic sklls, not expert)..and not
in 3.0 at all!!!!!!!! I have a website that is done nearly all in
Flash with AS2.0. I recently added a video player from a video
aggregator, but their player is AS3.0.
All I could do was to build an html page and embed the AS 3
player into that. I prefer the seamlessness that Flash provides. Is
there ANY possible way to embed an AS3 swf file into an AS2
website.
I just cannot completely rebuild the entire website right now
in 3.0!!!!
Is there ANY simple solution? I cannot believe that I am the
only person who is having issues like this...Ugh!!!!
thanks for any help you can offer.

you can't use an as2 file to load an as3 file and have the
as3 file work.
you can use getURL() to load your as3's embedding html file.
if you want it to look seemless, you can load into the same window
so the user will see your as2 content replaced by the as3 swf.
in the as3 swf you can put code to load your as2's embedding
html file (using navigateToURL()). so, you can go back and forth
between your as2 and as3 swfs.

Swf file question

One thing I haven't learned on flash yet...and I'm sure it's
quite simple...is how do you run a swf file without it having to
have the support files that go along with it?
i.e., i want to send someone a completed swf file without
having to also send the fla file etc..
I'm assuming it has something to do with embedding.
Any help will be appreciated.
=)

You should be able to send the swf file by itself. If the
other person has the player to support it installed, then it should
play for them.

SWF "Catalogue" Question

Hi there - I've created a beautiful SWF catalogue that I want to share with several people.
The people who I want to view it are essentially luddites: unfortunately the SWF file is too large to attach in an email. I have considered sending it via something like DropBox, Yousendit, etc., but I doubt that they would understand how to access the file. On the other hand, I think they would be able to click a link - but I need is a site where I can post the SWF. Does such a site exist, and if so, what is it? Thanks!

New user with swf conversion question

Hi guys,
i am new to this forum & to Flash.
I make basic promo videos for some of my clients & a couple need the file in swf format.
Currently I am using iMovie (for basic image to image cross disolves). I am learning Premier Pro
& plan on using that in the next month or so.
iMovie exports in .mov format. What is the best way of converting to swf? Would it be media encoder
to FLV, then Flash to SWF?
I am using Mac OS 10.5.6 & I have CS4
any insight would be appreciated
thanks

Help?....

How to protect SWF against decompiler?

hi all, i'm new here..
i want to ask question about swf protector against swf decompiler.
i saw so many protector using obfuscator,encryption like that..
i want to use FMS (flash media server) that will invoke callback function..
i'm afraid using encryption,will not detect the name of the function
my question is :
is there any other solution except using obfuscator to handle decompiler?
thanks before..

The only foolproof means to protect your swf files is to not make them available to the public.

Need help to decompile .SWF

I hope this doesn't break any forum rules, but I desparately need an .SWF decompiled to .FLA. I am the webmaster for a small (not for profit) club, and I've inherited the club website. Naturally, the source for many things are missing, including the main page http://www.mjoc.org.au/
Is there anybody who could do me a great favour and decompile the attached file for me?
There are several decompilers out there, but they all seem around the $100 mark, and the club can't afford such a thing, particularly as it's a one off, and may not be usable. I've tried a few trial versions, but they all have limitations which don't produce a viable .FLA.
Any help greatly appreciated.

I have to say, decompiling a swf saved my arse once, big time.
It was a file that I authored, and had a lot of AS in it that i had done for the first time and it took several days to do. I was working on it in three different locations and ultimatley didn't save the most recent version. Of course I didn't discover this until about 6 monthes later when I had to make some updates.
I couldn't remember what I'd done in the code, or how I did it or anything. I also broke a cardinal rule of programming and didn't document what I did either. So I ran the decompiler, all the code was intact and I breathed a HUGE sigh of relief and vowed to never ever let my files get out of sync again!

Prevent SWF files from being decompiled back into FLA format

Some programs such as Sothink SWF Decompiler may be used to
decompile the SWF files back into FLA format. Even the ActionScirpt
inside the SWF files can be decompiled as well! No one can even
tell the difference between the original FLA file and the compiled
FLA file! What can we do to prevent this from happening? I heard
that we may protect the SWF files by using ActionScript Obfuscator.
Is it true? How to do that? Please help, I must do something on
it.

It's not true. SWF can't be protected.
There are companies trying to sale products claiming they can
protect SWF
file, don't fall for that.
In order to protect the file they jam the code and name of
variables and functions.
This however does not go w/o consequence. There is only how
much you can mess the
file up before the player will be unable to run it. Very
risky games if you do that.
One of the tools that was doing that, produced files which
stop working with next
player upgrade. From version 7 to 8. Than you just can't open
it anymore.
Secondly, as soon as such tool appear, the producers of
decompilers provide antidotes.
Upgrades with work around for the protection.

Embedding FULLY SCALABLE SWF in PDF

Hello...good people...
I would like to embed a FULLY SCALABLE Photoshop Zoomable photo (swf) and Adobe Bridge web gallery (swf) inside my pdf. After watching the AcrobatUserCommunity Tech Talk tutorial "Embedding Flash in PDF" - September 2009 (https://adobechats.adobe.acrobat.com/p56758970/?launcher=false&fcsContent=true&pbMode=norm al) and following its instructions (I encourage EVERYONE to watch this entire video...but for this topic 0:29-0:46 is what you need to watch...awesome stuff!!!), I am glad to say I can successfully embed a PS Z-photo and Bridge web gallery. My problem is...the magnification (zoom) on the Z-photo AND gallery has to be 100% and higher. Anything lower, cropping occurs. My question is: how do I modify the Flash files and what applications do I use to make Zoomify and the Bridge web gallery FULLY SCALABLE? In plain English, I'd like to see the ENTIRE Z-photo and gallery at 50% or even 25% zoom.
My tools:
Acrobat 9 PE
Flash Pro CS5
PS CS5
Flash Builder 4
Bridge CS5
Sothink SWF Decompiler
If anyone can provide step-by-step instructions as to how to do this, I would greatly appreciate it!!!

Dreamweaver CS5 wont loop .swf file???

Hi there,
I am having a problem where i am trying to get a swf file to loop. I read on another thread that there is a bug in dreamweaver and although it automatically selects the loop button in the property inspector it does not add the code. But when i correct the code it still doesn't work! here is the code i am using:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="550" height="400" id="FlashID" title="openingsequence">
    <param name="movie" value="1.swf" />
    <param name="quality" value="high" />
    <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
    <param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />
    
    <param name="expressinstall" value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
    <param name="LOOP" value="true" />
    
    
    <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="1.swf" width="550" height="400">

      <param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />
      <param name="expressinstall" value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />

      </div>
      
    </object>
    
</object>
I have also read that it could be because the code for the .fla file has a <stop/> value at the end instead of the code to make it loop. I made the swf file from an mp4 in flash so ive never had the original .fla file. I have tried using a swf decompiler to get the fla file but it doesnt seem to have worked but this is a side issue...
I really just want to figure out how to get dreamweaver to loop my swf file.
Can someone please help me, ive spent all day trying to solve this!
thanks,
Matt

First welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately without being able to edit the stop() function out of the fla file, your swf will not loop.
You could use the html5 video element for your mp4 and if you have the original video file convert it to other formats for use in the html5 video, and then use the swf file as the fall back, this would allow your video to loop in those browsers that support this.
There are also 3rd party players available that will allow the swf to loop without editing but these will only work on windows.
