HDD Failure Nightmare: Need To Decompile Files From Web



Hi there

A couple of months ago, I had a bit of a nightmare in that my harddrive failed, losing an entire year's work. I have so far managed to get by without having to pay the £1000 quoted for getting the data professionally retreived, but have come up with a problem today.

I created 2 swf files for the homepage of a client's new website. They have now decided they want some changes to these yet I no longer have the .fla file to make the changes.

Can anyone help me? Is there a decompiler I can use without having to spend a lot of money? Can some kind person perhaps do this for me?

Both files can be found at:

Decompile Nightmare
I am trying to help a friend with a project. Long story short--original developer's computer crashed, no backups. The only files left are .swfs on an executable CD-ROM. The exectuable can't be used online, it's just for the CD-ROM format, so at this point everything has been decompiled and corrected except this ONE FILE that is giving me fits.

I'm more of a designer than a programmer; my understanding of ActionScript is limited. I've been trying to figure this out using the 'Learning AS2.0 for Flash 8' book, but while I think I kind of understand the syntax I still can't figure out the problem.

I can't attach the decompiled file and the finished .swf (so you can see how it should work) to this post as a .zip because they're too big. If anyone is willing to take a look at them and at least give me some direction, they would have my undying gratitude, please respond and I'll send you the files. Thanks!

Flash Decompile/View Files?¿
Hi, Im doing research into VR Tours and I find that I learn quite a lot from seeing peoples code. In some webpages, I can right click and view the source and find the xml file(all the important code is in the xml file linked to the tour-most cases-)

But when the tour is fullscreen, I get no right click as its all Flash.

How can I access the files that make up a tour to see how its been done?
Do I need a decompiler? or what else?

If I need a decompiler, is there any freely available? If I can do it someonether way please let me know...
Here is an example of a link that Id like to be able to see what files make up this tour...

Can Someone Help Decompile An SWF File Please?
Hey all,

I have an SWF file that I need decomplied so I can get some actionscript code out of it and find the URL path to 2 parts of it internally.

Would anyone be able to help me, it should be simple, I'm just not experienced with decompiling an SWF file, and I am on a Mac, the PC decompilers are more in-depth and allow more to be seen.

If anyone can help, please send a message here or IM me on yahoo messenger: aggro70 and I'll explain the 2 little details I need.

Thank you very much for any help that anyone can give me.

Can I Decompile Your Flash?
Hi, im a beginner of flash. I hate those codes to describe flash, but i like joining up those elements. I know I am strange and thus i cant learn valuable things in flash. So i "invent" a good method in flash learning. First I googled "decompiler" and download one of them which i think is good enough(http://www.sothink.com/product/flashdecompiler/index.htm)
. Then i decompiled some swf(on web) to see how they make it. Then I joined the elements up, the swf palyed well, I win. So, i retry and retry, things becomed no more difficult to me. I think my learning method was advanced until someone my friend told me: "stop do that, you've offended the flash author! " I dont quite understand her words but I couldnt continue my work. I only want to learn some flash, I dont want to offend anyone else. I dont know if my friend's suggestion is true? It's a pity I cant learn my flash with decompiler, I hope someone bigbody could give me some advice! Thank you!

Decompile One Of My Movies
Would anyone with a Flash decompiler be able to do me a favour?

I created a simple flash animation (currently visible on http://www.avoncrusade.co.uk) but I cannot find the original .fla. I'm working from home (with a bad cold) and can't find it. Nobody at the office seems to be able to help either.

I'm working on another little movie for a sister site to Avon Crusade and I could really use the animated logo from that swf, it will save me a heap of time!

Can anyone help?

Decompile A FlashPaAper
Does anyone know how to decompile de content of a FlashPaper SWF?

I dont mind about the FP interface itself but the content itself.

Tha thing is I have an old program form aking maps that has no export options, only printing. When i sent the maps to the simulated printer, FP mantains what this software sends to the printer as vectors which is very convenient.

So, is there any way to decompile or modify the content of a FP?

thanks in advance

Prevent The Site Being Decompile
Is there any ways to do that? How to avoid people decompile your site after you have work such a long hours on it?

[F8] Challenge: Can You Figure Out How To Decompile This?
No, I'm not asking for you to decompile someone's Flash program for me. As you'll see at the site, it's nothing special ( just the word "flyyyyyyy" ). This is an attempt I've been developing at making a Flash SWF that is unable to be decompiled.

I'd like for anyone interested to try to decompile this and post here the code that is inside. It's only a couple lines but it should be able to prove whether or not you did find a way to decompile it.

I hope none of you can!

Prevent Decompile And Encrypt AS

Quite A Big Favour, Please Decompile Small Swf
Sorry to ask, but would anybody be able to decompile an old Flash file on a website I designed years ago, and ,of course, have lost the source for.

It's basically a small flash player which works with a cgi script to stream mp3s - I'm pretty sure it came from a tutorial site many moons ago.

Anyway I can't find anything about it online, so I am reduced to having to hack it apart to try and work out the script and how it interacts with the cgi, so i can make some small changes.

I work on a mac and as far as I can tell there is no real decompiling software available which will simply export the thing as a Fla file.

So I know it's a liberty, but please could somebody simply decompile it, export it as a fla, and mail it to me at felix (at) urbanimage.tv

Copyright enthusiasts should note urbanimage is credited as the builders. (Although no one in their right mind would want this delightful piece of antique code.)

This is the address :

Thanks for any help.

Preventing Decompile / Code Reading
Hey all,
I was just wondering if anyone knew of a good solution for encrypting AS3 files to prevent decompiling and code-reading...not for SWC files but for an SWF or rather the AS3 classes compiled therein. I really don't care if anyone gets the minimal graphics or even most of the scripts; but I'm worried about someone figuring out how to hack the database my SWF is tapping into by deducing what the variables it's sending are (as it is I obfuscate everything sent over the wire to make it not-human-readable).
I looked at Amayeta, but they don't seem to be up to AS3 yet. Any thoughts? You'd think encryption would be a built-in compile option already...
Cheers,
Josh

Can Some Kind Person Decompile A File For Me?
Hi all,
I was being unsafe and working off a server; server crashed and I lost the .fla .
Now changes need to be made before the end of today and I don't want to go through and rebuild the file. IT won't allow sothink on the machine and I can't go home to use my version.
So, if somebody could be kind enough to decompile one swf, I would be most grateful and name my first born after you.

Failure To Run

Is it failing because of the insane number of variables? Because of the while loops? In any event assistence would be quite welcome.

My First SendAndLoad Is A Failure
Hi,
hope you can help me see the light. Here is the action script behind a simple text input box:

stop();
function doSubmit()
{
userData = new LoadVars();
userData.name = name;
response = new LoadVars();
response.onLoad = getResponse();
userData.sendAndLoad("/flash/name.php?RND="+random(999),response,"post");
}


function getResponse(result)
{
if(result == true)
{
gotoAndStop("success");
}
else
{
gotoAndStop("fail");
}
}

The name.php script simply echos out a value but the actionscript always goes to "fail". Please help.

Loading Failure
Hi,

I've made a menu in Flash that access data from a xml sctructure generated by an asp page.
The result page have many html objects, 11 images, combo box, etc, and two flash movies.
To Flash movie (menu) work properly, I send informations using some javascript code from de html to the flash movie.

My problem is when the flash movie starts to run, the html objects in page aren't shown. They are loaded, because when I right-click in the place where suppose to be an image (html tag <img>), there is the "Show Picture" option in the menu.

Visit the development page at http://fundace.nst.com.br/

Someone can help me!?!

Failure On Loading XML In MAC OSX

want to call a xml doc on the server , but with no success.

if i run it on my pc it works like a charm...

I have tested on Windows XP sp2 and MAC OSX which using firefox, ie, netscap, and scaifi. standalone version, loading the website by client, the actual website is www.frontdoorscooters.com.

XML Load Failure In IE But Not FF
Hi I'm having some issues using my_xml.load();

We're using an external xml file to dictate what .swf files shall be loaded into a root flash file called "loader.swf".

Originally we had a file "advertlist.xml" which contained the data for which .swf files to load and this worked fine.

As we're often changing the order or adding new banners we had a lot of issues with caching so the best work around we could come up with was to make an .ASP file that parses out the XML.

So now it's trying to load a file "advertlist.asp?seed=RNUM" where RNUM is a random number between 0-500. So that way the users of the site shouldn't have problems with the loader.swf loading up a cached XML file.

The issue is now we're experiencing now is only in MS Iinternet Explorer 6 SP2 where loader.swf can't load the returned XML data. It all works fine in FireFox. We've checked the server log and the Flash in IE is requesting the ASP files and the server is sending them back so the issue must be at the flash end.

Also note that we have all the files in the same folder so this isn't a cross domain security bug and they are looking at a local address.

I'm just wondering if anyone's had the same problem and figured out a way around it. Or does anyone know how to get some data into a .swf where the information won't be cached in a method other than XML, along the lines of loader.swf?var=value.

Failure To Start :[
Hi
After trying to start flash today i was presented with a message that said the lisencing for my product has stopped working, and that i should reinstall.

I did that - four times.

No luck.

I even tried redownloading and installing off of that file.
I cleared my registry after every uninstall, so i'm out of ideas.

In the FLEXnet file i found an adobe_00080000_event file that said this:

Any help is appreciated, thank you :]

[Update]
after searching through my computer i found (or rather didnt find) the macrovision folder in which the flex net program should be found. How do i get it back again? Thank you.
