IMPERATOR °FLA: swf => fla!

[eyezberg]

"IMPERATOR °FLA generates FLA-files (readable with Flash MX(6) or higher) from the selected input SWFs (compiled with Macromedia Flash) and thereby makes it possible to alter the content of a SWF even when the corresponding FLA got lost. Furthermore it gives you the opportunity to extract all included media-files (pictures, sounds and videos) so you can edit them with other programs."

woahh, thats pretty nasty!!... lol.. great tool but i know what some people are going to use it for...!! :!:

[Game™]

****! That's gonna cause alot of rips.

[davymacca]

Am not liking them apples.... not 1 little bit.

I already think that non-flash peeps get too much help and open source material as it is.
:bad:

I agree with the idea that a swf --> fla ripper is bad news. However, statements like the one above scare me a bit. I couldn't touch Flash with a 10 foot pole if it wasn't for #1! this forum :beer: and #2 sample flas and bits of code provided by other people. Sites like Senocular's are a gold mine for people like me to study and learn from. I guess maybe that statement puts me on alert because though I try really hard to understand flas and code that I read and though I work hard to make a good flash site I still consider myself a "non-flash peep" and probably will be for a good long while! :hr:

[minimalistik]

this forum wouldnt far like now if ppl kept using that prog.

this is the only forum that has answered all my q's abt nething i ask. I wouldnt have got far without this forum. Kirupa :)

[Flash monkey]

maybe so but look at the price!!!!!!!:!::!::!:

[minimalistik]

just get it off kazaa lolz....

i wouldnt bothered anyway,,, bad enough as it is with 56k

[T-O]

I am still going to make my own site's. So it doesn't bother me. And.... everyone that rips my site i can sue because of the copyright.


Or you can publish your movie's in flash 5.

:stunned:

[eyezberg]

"Or you can publish your movie's in flash 5"
...and then what?
Anyway, either your fla is open source, so you don't care,
or if someone grabs it off the internet, and it's client work,
if it's online you normally have been paid, and what do you care then..?

[T-O]

No it only works from 6 up.

[Scootman]

*i dont know php so im probably wrong* i dont know if its possible... but ive seen sites where they use php and it makes it so everything is done from a php file so people cant see the source... so is it possible to do that where you would load the swf through php and people thus wouldnt be able to look at the source, (the name of your file) and steal it

[Maizoon]

You could always put your uber prototypes into an external .as file and do an include. Unless that information is compiled with the swf then all the decompiler would get is your basic stuff.

[eyezberg]

"Unless that information is compiled with the swf ..."
of course it is, how else could the swf work online without accessing the external files..? :) ... or better: :(

[REEF·]

I know like a billion ways to protect my stuff. All you gotta do is think logic. If they wanna decompile ur swf in the first place, make it so they decompile one without all the main stuff and have important data load from external places. BTW- publishing as flash 5 won't compress movie will it? What buffoon would do this :puzzle:...

[minimalistik]

this progs like sothink decompiler n **** only reveal (as) but they dont let you know where motion tween, etc. Although you can get images and loops but they only turn into swfs so thats just no good at all.

newyz, the ppl that use it for ripping know there gnna get full of crap from ppl so ..... www.lh-ad.com, i wonder if they took their site of yet? :P

[REEF·]

Without sothink decompiler, how do you think they're gonna recieve the swf thats on the internet? Hopes and dreams? They need sodecom to get the swf first. Duh :).

Whoa sbrook, how'd you find that? That's crazy. That's like a v3 + v4 glued together. (:

[Scootman]

welllll... ever hear of temporary internet files? heh easy to go in and find a swf...

[minimalistik]

duh :P

I've been fiddeling around with an exsternal .as skript. But Could some one give me some help Including a .as file.

[Scootman]

http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/tricks/include.htm pretty basic stuff... never actually used it in A/S myself but C++ has the same thing and java has a similar one... it will just make it so any functions inside the included file can be accessed within the movie...

That's useless for protection... the .as files are simply copied and pasted into the movie at compile-time.

njs12345 i didnt say it was good for protection, he just asked how to include .as stuff ;)

[ehman]

hmm isnt .fla a proprietry format. So then they got macromedia's consent to make this ?

[Scootman]

i believe they are talking about how the new version of flash lets you open a .fla file and see the source to it

[minimalistik]

serz?

lol.. I just assumed seeing as we were talking about protection :P

[Scootman]

lol ok

[Xtreme]

What if the file is .html and the .swf is loaded onto the html? Then i fix the html window so you cant view sorce to see what the .swf is called. Is it still possible to get the info from the <object> tags? That cant be possible. I figure if it cant access the .swf directly then it cant get it right?

[Scootman]

there are always ways... like if you take notepad and make a link to the site and then open the html on your desktop and right click the link you can save target as... and get the html file onto your comp and just look at the code...

[CanadianGuy]

Where there's a will, there's a way. At least that's what I always say. Hey, jay, ray, do you want to eat some hay? lol

[TecFreak]

Thank god for this. I made a game a while ago, had to reformat, and lost the fla. now I should be able to regenerate it :)
*edit: shoot, you have to buy it*

Powerful swf to fla converter

[e-sarbak]

maybe so but look at the price!!!!!!!

There are free ways to also get Fla Imperator
But I cant say ...;)

[Coke]

just get it off kazaa lolz....

i wouldnt bothered anyway,,, bad enough as it is with 56k

You know when you install kazaa you agree for somone to hack your computer. It's a really bad p2p program even though win mx doesnt let you download games or programs it wont give you viruses and you wont be hacked, I used to have kazaa a few years ago and my computer is still recovering from it:puzzled:

..I am not going to talk about warez apps to download apps since it would mean im breaking the rules of the forum..

Also, I used to have sothik swf decomplier its good and professional but wont give you the action script which really sucks.

Coke

[.soulty]

guys no more talk about warez and download app programs :bad:

[cigar]

That's not so good.

[r_ferns82]

its pretty old stuff I have used it its good but wthere are limitations there is no 100% original fla solution most of the stuff is lost. Like all stuff in the wrong hands this stuff is havoc.

[krnmikel]

wow.

[GW02]

Can someone please come lock this thread now?

We have firmly established that the Kirupa community is against decompilers.
