Dumping Simple SWF Files
This section provides a tutorial example on how to dump and disassemble a simple SWF file with SWFTools package and Flex SDK package.
To compare the SWF file dumper tool from the SWFTools package and the SWF file disassembler tool from the Flex SDK package, let's look at a simple Flash application written in SWFC script, circle.sc, again:
#- circle.sc #- Copyright (c) 2010, HerongYang.com, All Rights Reserved. # .flash bbox=150x150 background=gray .circle myCircle r=50 line=5 color=black fill=green .put myCircle x=25 y=25 .end
Compile it into circle.swf using SWFC script compiler from SWFTools:
C:\herong>\local\SWFTools\swfc.exe circle.sc -o circle.swf
First dump it with the SWFTools SWF dumper using "-D" option:
C:\herong>\local\swftools\swfdump -D circle.swf [HEADER] File version: 6 [HEADER] File is zlib compressed. Ratio: 94% [HEADER] File size: 159 [HEADER] Frame rate: 50.000000 [HEADER] Frame count: 1 [HEADER] Movie width: 150.00 [HEADER] Movie height: 150.00 [009] 3 SETBACKGROUNDCOLOR (be/be/be) [020] 76 DEFINESHAPE3 defines id 0001 | fillstyles(01) linestyles(01) | 1 ) SOLID 00ff00ff 1 ) 4.00 000000ff | | fill: 01/00 line:01 - moveTo 0.00 0.00 | fill: 01/00 line:01 - moveTo 85.30 85.30 | fill: 01/00 line:01 - splineTo (70.70 99.90) 50.05 99.90 | fill: 01/00 line:01 - splineTo (29.40 99.90) 14.80 85.30 | fill: 01/00 line:01 - splineTo (0.20 70.70) 0.20 50.05 | fill: 01/00 line:01 - splineTo (0.20 29.40) 14.80 14.80 | fill: 01/00 line:01 - splineTo (29.40 0.20) 50.05 0.20 | fill: 01/00 line:01 - splineTo (70.70 0.20) 85.30 14.80 | fill: 01/00 line:01 - splineTo (99.90 29.40) 99.90 50.05 | fill: 01/00 line:01 - splineTo (99.90 70.70) 85.30 85.30 | [028] 11 NAMECHARACTER adds information to id 0001 "myCircle" [038] 13 EXPORTASSETS exports 0001 as "myCircle" [01a] 18 PLACEOBJECT2 places id 0001 at depth 0001 name "myCircle" | Matrix | 1.000 0.000 25.00 | 0.000 1.000 25.00 [001] 0 SHOWFRAME 1 (00:00:00,000) [000] 0 END
Then disassemble it with the Flex SWF disassembler:
C:\herong>\local\flex\bin\swfdump circle.swf <!-- Parsing swf file:/C:/herong/circle.swf --> <!-- ?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"? --> <swf xmlns='http://macromedia/2003/swfx' version='6' framerate='50' size='3000x3000' compressed='true' > <!-- framecount=1 length=159 --> <SetBackgroundColor color='#BEBEBE'/> <DefineShape3 id='1' bounds='(-40,-40),(2040,2040)'> <fillstyle type='0' color='#00FF00FF' /> <linestyle color='#000000FF' width='80' /> <styleChange dx='0' dy='0' fillStyle0='1' lineStyle='1' /> <styleChange dx='1706' dy='1706' /> <curve cdx='-292' cdy='292' dx='-413' dy='0' /> <curve cdx='-413' cdy='0' dx='-292' dy='-292' /> <curve cdx='-292' cdy='-292' dx='0' dy='-413' /> <curve cdx='0' cdy='-413' dx='292' dy='-292' /> <curve cdx='292' cdy='-292' dx='413' dy='0' /> <curve cdx='413' cdy='0' dx='292' dy='292' /> <curve cdx='292' cdy='292' dx='0' dy='413' /> <curve cdx='0' cdy='413' dx='-292' dy='292' /> </DefineShape3> <!-- unknown tag=40 length=11 --> <ExportAssets> <Export idref='1' name='myCircle' /> </ExportAssets> <!-- instance of myCircle --> <PlaceObject2 idref='myCircle' name='myCircle' depth='1' matrix='t500,500'/> <ShowFrame/> </swf>
