[Flash] Recover data from a .swf?

[Durka]

Lost my thumb drive with the .fla so, even though I know it is stupid, I'm wondering if anyone knows a way to recover data from a .swf?

Last resort, heh

google flash decompiler

 

[TheShire]

i dunno if flashing a swf will help you recover

google flash decompiler

whoa holy shit

I was gonna reply with a flat statement like 'that'd be like trying to get a .psd from a jpeg'

but fuck me, it exists

SWF Decompiler, Flash Decompiler, SWF to Flex, SWF To FLA Converter, Recover FLA

don't hate the technology, hate the assholes who abuse it

you might not get all the information from the decompiler, but it does work fairly well.

this has the potential to be a gamebreaker if 1)

you can recover all the data from an already extant swf so you could basically steal work and

2) if you could do that even if the .swf is passworded

if so that would be fucking sweet for cheating your way through a flash course

(although obviously using complicated work that you have no understanding of will flag you up as a cheater pretty badly, but it would be potentially fucking useful to read the coding)

i played around with the one you posted years ago, and wasn't that impressed. but each version improved upon it. the main problem was that the actionscript wasn't organized by the decompiler as it originally was in the .fla, which made things confusing. or maybe i was just bad at using the decompiler. my point is, i don't think it'd really help you pass a flash course if you don't already know actionscript.
