Flash :: Decompile A Compiled Clip?

Movie Clip Vs Graphic Vs Compiled Clip Vs Frustration
Hi,

I'm having multiple problems with my new animation, and have been searching for a solution for days now.

First a bit of background:
I tried to be all slick and make a movie clip of a mock debate with my whole animation in it, and then move that around in my main timeline to give the appearance of a camera panning, changing angles, and zooming in and out.

First part of the problem:
The main movie clip has audience noises in it, which are impossible to synch up with the characters' dialogue as the lip synching occurs in movie clips of the characters' heads. (So I've got movie clips inside a movie clip inside my main movie.) I understand that I can see the motion when I make them graphics and must change them back to movie clips to get the audio to work when publishing. That doesn't help me get the speech to synch up well with the audience noises though. I need sound to propagate. I tried compiling the movie clip but that didn't help.

Second part of the problem:
I put the main movie clip on my main timeline and create a motion tween to move it around (see background info above). However, I can't see the motion in the main clip if I don't set it to behave as a graphic (and even then, I can't see the motion of the movies within that clip). The problem is that there are a ton of keyframes and every time I want to preview or publish (to really see all the motion) I have to swich them all back individually to behave as movie clips. This is very time consuming.

AM I MISSING SOMETHING???
Flash can't possibly be this difficult to work with...
Is there no way at all to edit with sound from embedded objects? No components available or anything?

Is there a better way to accomplish my "camera angles" task without having to individually switch every key frame from movie to graphic and then back again?

BTW, I tried to compile the main movie clip first, but since the reference point is in the center, MX 2004 cuts off everything but the bottom right quadrant. It doesn't seem to show movement anyway so I guess that's a moot point. I have no idea how to move the reference point either without moving every single frame in my clip.

Thanks to anyone who even read this whole thing. Any suggestions would be very welcomed.

Compiled Clip?
I received the FLA source file where there is a compiled clip - it makes text effects. I wanted to translate the animation from English into Polish but when I changed the sentence, the whole text did not appear - some letters were missing. I think the compiled clip is responsible for this but I cannot see what is inside it.
Is there a way to look into the compiled clip or should I ask the author of the animation for the source file with the clip which is not compiled?
I will appreciate any hint, as I have never dealt with the compiled clips - this is something new for me and I do not know how to handle it.

Compiled Clip Will Not Publish
I’ve created a movieclip that I would like to compile so that it can be easily used over many applications. It does compile, but flash will not publish a .swf containing it. Clicking Control/Test Movie does nothing. I tried reinstalling flash, but it still doesn’t work. An example file can be found here:

http://www.geocities.com/MichaelGioffredi/ColorWeel.fla

Open the .fla and click Control/Test Movie to see what I mean. Does it work for anyone else? What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Compiling UI As A Compiled Clip
Hi there,
Does have anyway to compile The Flash UI component in a way that the user cannot change the data such as skins ?
I compiled them by write click on some of the UI components that I used in my library and clicked as a compiled clip but it caused to had a lot of errors.
Any suggestion?
Thx

Component / Compiled Clip
Hey there,

I am having some trouble figuring something out regarding a compiled clip versus a component in the library of the sample FLA I downloaded from Macromedia called "UIComponent_QuickStart.fla".

I understand what the code is doing, thats no problem, just curious how they got "MyUIComponent" to appear in the library as a component, is a component the same as a compiled clip? I could only get my AS file to appear as a compiled clip in the library.

I am definitely missing out on something, hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.

Cheers,

Nathan

Compiled Clip (gotoandplay)
well my experience isn't that great with actionscript 1 and 2 - only had 1 year of C++ so hoping someone can help me out with this problem.

I'm trying to setup a Flash shopping cart which the user can click on an "add to cart" button (which is a compiled clip) and a view status movieclip will appear and notify the user there is 1 item added to their shopping cart.

compiled clip = mybutton
mask = Scene1_frame7

in actions layer(frame 1) -

mybutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);

buttonClick.onPress = function(){
gotoAndPlay("Scene1_frame7");
}

first time posting so i hope i got all the information down that you need to resolve my problem - spent 2 hours trying to figure it out and another hour on forums searching..

thanks in advance

Compiled Clip Won't Loop
Hello. I converted an .avi file in Flash 8 to a Compiled Clip. In the library this is named FLVPlayback. The clip takes up 1 frame on the timeline. If there is a way to edit it I haven't found it. What I need is for the .swf to loop. Nothing I have tried has worked. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You, WonderWendy

Compiled Clip Vs Live Preview
Hi
Does anybody know how to create a compiled clip that diaplay when add to the stage. I explaine. The clip I build has an outline to know the diaplay zone. This outline visible = false at the clip ADDED event. It means that when I publish the Fla, the outile desapear. My problem is that when I Compiled it to a Compiled CLip, when I put it on the stage the ADDED is execute. So I can't view the outline to position it to the stage.

I tried to used the Component properties and set the live preview, I put a link to a swf that is exactly the preview of it, but when ADDED to the stage the preview is jsut a small square of 10 px. Not the real preview in the external swf.

I need to have a Compiled Clip that is visisble on the sateg and execute the outshape visible to false on publish only

Any Idea

Compiled Clip Layout Problems On MX 2004
Hello. For the last few days I've been trying to figure out how to build new components which I can use in other places with a minimum of effort. I'm now able to create compiled clips (.swc files) and use them in other projects, but I'm having a strange problem.

I have a component which lays out some radio boxes in a line, using this code:

code:
var container:MovieClip = this.container_mc;
var item:MovieClip;

var len:Number = __labels.length;
var xPos:Number = __margin;
var yPos:Number = __margin;

for ( var i:Number=0; i<len; i++ ) {
item = container[ "item"+i ];
item.move(xPos, yPos);
xPos += item.width + __spacing;
}

This code works perfectly when I preview it before compiling. After compiling the finished component to swc, I import it into another project where I instantiate it using attachMovie() on an empty movie clip.

The component renders, but all of the radio boxes are on top of each other - the sizing code doesn't work.

The first thing I found out was that the function containing this code - the component's draw() function - was not getting called. So I moved the code out to a separate function, made it public, and called it explicitly when I instantiated the component. Now the function was getting called, but the boxes still weren't laying out.

I've since confirmed (using lots of trace() calls) that:
* The container in the above code is successfully found, as are all of the items.
* The item.width is correctly detected
* xPos is correctly incremented.

The only remaining possibility seems to be that item.move() isn't working, although it works perfectly on the non-compiled version of the component.

Perhaps I'm missing something really obvious here. Can anyone suggest what it could be?

Thanks in advance,
Brendon

Convert To Compiled Clip Showing Old Errors.
Hey Everyone!

I'm having some trouble with my component.

Every time I make a change to the code in the linked .as file I have to literally close down Flash and re-open the file before I convert to compiled clip and test it. If I don't do this Flash will display old errors from the previous compilation.

I've tried everything I can think of, but for some reason Flash won't read in the most up-to-date version of the code when I save it, only at startup.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Collection Property Causing Problems While Creating Compiled Clip
Hi,

I've already made this component which uses a collection property, I created the collection class named as "com.evalCollection.MMcqCollection".

It works fine when I run the compnent having the class files in their necessary paths.

But this component would be given for integration for our artists, so I decided to make it as a compiled clip. It compiled perfectly, but when the artist tried to integrate it, it showed us an error stating that:

**Error** Symbol=mc_movie02, layer=Layer 21, frame=32:Line 25: The class 'com.evalCollection.MMcqCollection' could not be loaded.
var itemObj0:com.evalCollection.MMcqCollection;

How can this be?!!!
Aren't compiled clips supposed to have the classes embedded .. Then how come I'm having this problem... This is really confusing...

HELP Please...

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.

[F8] I Need To Know How To Decompile A .swf Without Paying
i have one of my swfs and my .fla file was lost so i want to be able to decompile it but i dont want to re do the whole thing and i also dont want to pay money help would be greatly appreciated

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!

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

New Decompile Protection For SWF Files
The developer ******* located at www.*******.com is getting ready to release the BETA version of Flash Encrypt. I have played with it myself and found it to be very usefull. There is some great information on there for Flash protection. Check it out. Thought it might be usefull to some of you looking to protect your work.

[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!

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.)
