  1. Re:Flash decompiler? by cduffy · · Score: 1 · on Olympic Web Site Features Pirated Content

    It would matter... why? Raw assertion isn't all that useful on its own.

    BTW, I believe the formerly-open tool I used to use (and may still have a pre-relicensing copy around somewhere) became the commercial product KineticFusion, which appears to have been sold to QMeCom and folded into their product line... somewhere.

    you can google SWFs, and there also are many other tools to generate them.

    for scripting, you can use eclipse with the AS Development Tool, flashout and MTASC as the compiler. there are commercial products, too.

  3. Re:ActionScript IDE by mjbkinx · · Score: 1 · on Flash Makes Splash in Gadgets
    learning to make swfs without the flash IDE is difficult, i guess. if you have access to windows or a mac, downloading the trial version from macromedia seems like your best option.
    i'm not sure about what kind of imported projects you're talking about? there are some public domain flas (fla is the format the flash IDE saves the projects in, the graphics and such, can contain script, too), but that's a proprietary format and you can't open it anywhere else.

    while it's possible to make an swf entirely in script and loading things like graphics into it, it's not exactly convenient and i imagine having to learn like this would be extremely frustrating. maybe KineticFusion, a swf to XML compiler/decompiler could be of some help. they have a free-as-in-beer version, but it only understands ActionScript 1 (no typing, no classfiles, interfaces and such). you could, however, experiment with it by dissecting some simple swfs, building your own, and then start compiling AS2 into it with MTASC. i had to google it because i forgot the name, and came across this, maybe they have something of use, too.

    debugging without the flash IDE can be difficult, because obviously you can't use their debugger. there are ways of debugging anyway, iirc there was a short discussion about it on the mailing list. check the archives or just subscribe and ask -- i think there might be more people interested in avoiding the macromedia IDE completely, but so far pretty much everybody using MTASC has a strong background in AS2 development and access to the flash IDE when needed.

    Have you taken a look at Kinetic Fusion yet? Can convert RVML (an XML flavor) to SWF and back.

  5. Re:Why PHP? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Informative · on Ming + PHP5 + AI = Pretty

    Flash is available on Windows & MacOS (and Linux thru Wine), but you don't need Flash to create an SWF, only to create a FLA which can then be pusblished to SWF. Plenty of other programs that can output SWF's, KineticFusion for instance is a Java-program that can create (and rip) SWF's from RVML, an XML-based textformat, including AS.

  6. Re:if (SVG = Flash) .... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on SVG And The Free Desktop(s)

    There are of course efforts to use SVG with the Flash Player as the rendering engine (a sort of solution for now until SVG rendering browsers become ubiquitous)....

    e.g. Thoth (client side):

    or Kinetic Fusion (server side):

    Technically, you could turn a SVG file into a .swf and I'm sure you'll be able to export to SVG from Flash one of these days, but they're two different ideas.

    Laszlo Systems already does this, as does Kinesis Software. Macromedia looks to be getting into the act, too, with their Royale Initiative.
