I can't help but wonder if content owners might view this as a threat to the security of their flash creations. Afterall, this is essentially a decompiler, isn't it?
- georgemcbay 15y agoPlain Flash SWFs are trivial to decompile and decompilers have been available basically since the beginning of the platform. Anyone who really worries about that sort of thing is running their Flash output through obfuscators/minifiers similar to the ones available for JavaScript. With such obfuscated swfs you can still extract the code but it'll be basically an unmaintainable mess. I'm sure the output of such obfuscated code with this tool is just as bad as it would be if decompiling the bytecode to ActionScript, if not worse.
- whatever_dude 15y agoThe SWF format is open (in the sense that it's a published spec) and many SWf decompilers already exist. This doesn't change anything in that regard.
