What are the best de-swfing tools that allow you to decompile the shockwave files? I need to see if I can extract certian objects, ActionScripting, etc....

Thanks
 
Thanks for your insight to this. Let me ask this then:

Can AS code be called from loadvariables? Or is that stricly good for assigning values to variables only?

Can AS code be called from Flash Remoting (via CFC's - ColdFusion Components, ASP or PHP)?
 
Reading for the weekend!

Don't worry, if my reply is wrong, BillWatson will clean it up for me!
 
That link looks familiar ;-)

Here's my way around the include problem - you could use a web service model like .NET only not on the web...

If you use a web service you have a discreet chunk of code on the server and your movie sends it information and receives something in return after processing - it's a useful process but it can be slow depending on round trip time to the server.

You can simulate this by building the processing code into its own movie, use loadMovie to grab the code at runtime and then use it as a local service. Just like an include really but it's more dynamic because the service code can be updated separately and the changes will come through without having to republish every movie that uses it.
 
... just read this forum pretty funny
tring to hide your scripts and all... not that there anything wrong with that, espcially those who get paid for there scripts, i could see it would piss them off to have it lifted...
hence my bnrain came up with a solution
your as wont be safe... but make it hard/ annoying to get to
thats very simple
make the noob ass movie have 100+ layers, and 100+ frames
every frame has some script, from as little as a space, to as much as u want,... then write down exactly where your main script is in the movie.. (i.e. layer 43 frame 72) or whatever, then youll be able to find it easy, and if a noob wants your script for bad intentions then make him work for it lol
mind u i dont really care if someone wants my script... vcause most of it probably only works for my site anyways lol
plus my flash making ways are probably so unauthodox that the person who trys to find the code goes screw this its to hard to find lol
anywyas thats my two cents :)
 
honestly

opensource benefits everyone, me being able to look at your code is not going to devalue what u do. u in return being able to look at others code will make u more valuable.

bottomline just because some can look at your code doesnt mean they will, there is a reason why people hire contractors its so that what they want is someone elses job / problem. im more likely to be insipired by some scholock's code that learning from his code i'll create something better

Alright, I'll bite - I've just spent two months working on a complex Flash contract, and my client is sending it to a competitor of mine to integrate into the final website. I'd love to protect it so that it's not too easy to see my code. I tried ASO, but it screws up the components (UI 2) in my swf (I think that's what it's doing). Anyone had any luck with RoboFlash Protector? I'd like to try it, but don't want to shell out the dough if it won't work.

Thanks,

I just did a word search on Decompile and it brought me to this thread. I want to automate a compiling process but don't know where to begin. I figured if I could look at certain files it could help me know what functions to call and things like that. I see BillWatsons point, I didn't work for these functions, but this doesn't change the fact that I need it done and I don't have the money or the experience to hire someone or do it my self.

I assume there are certain types of files that compile, be it a kernal or DLL or whatever. I am not a computer science guy, but I am an intermediate programmer. Where do I begin? Are the decompilers you are talking about help me to look at other files such as DLL. My intentions are to work with windows api programming to accomplish my goal. Thank you for any information or direction you might have.
