    "The Windows version works as an Internet Explorer extension: after installation right-click on any SWF file in Windows Explorer and choose Decompile from context menu. Flare will decompile the swf to a simple text file. You can then open it with your favorite text editor. If Flare encounters problems during decompilation, it will display some warnings. "

    edit: installed, rebooted even: nothing!? (win xp home)
    anyone gets this to work?


  • may possibly have issues on systems using another language? Maybe theres some path discrepencies :q:

    You can always add it yourself:

    Open a folder and go to Tools > Folder Options...
    Then go into the file types tab. Select swf then click on the Advanced button. This will bring up a dialog that lets you control those alternate options.
    Click the New.. button and add the following:
    Action: Decompile
    Application used to perform...:
    "C:Program FilesFlareflare.exe" %1
    (or whatever path it was installed to - the %1 means that you are sending this swf file to the program to be decompiled
    Go ahead and use DDE and put flare as the application and system as topic.
    OK OK OK CONFIRM OK OK OK CONFIRM THANKS COME AGAIN OK and there you should have it :)


  • yes.yes.all of the previous post.still no menu item.
    good night, thx again (how do you know this kinda stuff..?!)


  • Well whatever it is my curiousity is peeked and I'm gonna check this thing out


  • dammit, where is it!?


  • yes


  • try just dragging a swf on to the application file then. The decompiled file should appear then in that directory (with flare.exe)

    The above should actually work for any program and any file-type... something you can do to customize your right-click options. Not sure why its not working with Flare though :-/ I installed it on two XP Pro machines and had no problems with either.


  • Lemme get this right. THis is basically a code stealer?

    If you set the publish settings on a flash movie to 'protect file from import' can people still see your code using this program? Not that I'm worried, my stuff certainly isn't ground breaking. lol


  • hmmm, odd that it doesn't work :(


  • use restore. Then it should turn into advanced. You might lose some of the customizations to the swf file format though...


  • to sen, or anyone really, i followed your steps in a previous post through the folder options, for some reason, it keeps saying the path is wrong, even though i'm 100% sure that the path i am using is correct, would you happen to know why?


  • Heads up:
    after reinstalling XP home last weekend, I gavez it another go, works now tho' I still don't get a "Decompile" Menu item, I can now right-click the swfs, in "open with.." select Flare, and it'll do its thing.
    Works like a charm, really usefull to quickly get all your AS into a textfile without having to open Flash/fla!
    Thing is, the extension for the file created will be unknown to windows, so you might want to enable extension display, and then associate it with Notepad or another text editor..


  • i ain't got no "advanced tab", this is xp home!
    all there is is modify or restore!
    now what? :(

    thx for the help...but the light at the end of the tunnel was just a train :)
    stuck with ASV then..

    edit: uninstalled.


  • yup, neither does it for me; never did


  • it doesnt steal code, people steal code. This is meant for your own files. I've already found it incredibly useful as a code viewer without even having to open Flash. Its great!


  • Also, in the help page, I noticed a link to KineticFusion. Anyone else know about this? sounds hela spiffy Its a swf decompiler/recompiler that works through XML

    SWF > XML > SWF


  • OS: windows XP pro..
    Screen shot:
    this is right, right?


  • Pretty sweet. This can come in handy in trying to revive some old dwfs I have whose source went out the window.

    and yes, works fine here on Win XP pro.

    Just install and right-click on a .swf file. There should be an option that says "Decompile". Click on that and a .flr file will be made with the same name as the file clicked (though with a DOS 8.3 file name).

    Here's an example of its output:

    movie 'C:DOCUME~1pixelMYDOCU~1TOOLBL~1wwwfilessou rceSIMPLE~1.SWF' {
    // flash 5, total frames: 1, frame rate: 31 fps, 300x300 px

    movieClip 1 blank {
    }

    movieClip 3 line {
    }

    movieClip 4 blank {
    }

    frame 1 {
    fscommand('allowscale', 'false');
    stop();
    Clear = function () {
    drawing.attachMovie('blank', 'pad', 1);
    depth = 0;
    };

    DrawLine = function (x1, y1, x2, y2) {
    drawing.pad.attachMovie('line', 'l' + depth, depth);
    drawing.pad['l' + depth]._x = x1;
    drawing.pad['l' + depth]._y = y1;
    drawing.pad['l' + depth]._xscale = x2 - x1;
    drawing.pad['l' + depth++]._yscale = y2 - y1;
    };

    Clear();
    }

    instance drawing of movieClip 4 blank {

    onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
    if (Key.isDown(1)) {
    _root.DrawLine(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, old_x, old_y);
    old_x = _root._xmouse;
    old_y = _root._ymouse;
    }
    }

    onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
    old_x = _root._xmouse;
    old_y = _root._ymouse;
    }
    }

    button 11 {

    on (release) {
    Clear();
    }
    }
    }
