Actionscript 3 :: Any Tool To Debug ByteCode?
Mar 24, 2011So when running a SWF, is there a way to step through line by line of ABC code and observe registers, stacks? Could I at least print it to screen or log it?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Reading ABC Bytecode With A Hex Editor?
Jul 7, 2010I have tried to learn a bit of the way AS3 works behind the scenes by skimming the surface of the AS3 bytecode. I started with this document, and so far I'm at page 25 of 278. [URL] I tried following along a bit, opening a SWF I had laying around and exploring the header. I was able to read the first 4 bytes until I got to "FrameSize". The data type for that was RECT (found on page 16) The problem is, the first value of the RECT is stored as 5 BITS (not bytes). Since it doesn't round up to an even 16 bits per "chunk of data", it throws the "offset" of all bits off.
This means that unless I manually copy down the SWF hex values into binary data, reading this information simply with a Hex editor would not work, correct? Or is there anything I have missed such as some form of padding to offset this etc?

View 2 RepliesFlash :: Localy Execute Actionscript Bytecode
Nov 24, 2009i want to execute a piece of bytecode so that it will run in a specific scope ? for example i want to be able to run this code
label.x = 100+label.width
and have it react to a label instance that is somewhere inside the compiled swf. i want the code have the 'this' keyword of my abc code to point to the parent of the label instance. as i understand the eval library at [URL] will convert AS3 code to abc, which has to be loaded in as if it were an external swf. so the this keyword would always point to "global"
in the examples at hurlant the only way to access anything in the loading swf is to create a top-level class without packages i also found this page [URL] actionscript to be usefull. it has a class that allows you to pass data from the scope of the evaluation.
that is something, but what i really wanted is to actually execute it 'directly at' the scope of evaluation anybody know if this is possible ? i just want to create a command line from where i can execute code and also trace properties of the running swf. for example i want trace(label.x) to work, and set properties by doing label.text = "bla" etc...
Flash :: How To Methods Found In AVM2 Bytecode
Nov 3, 2010I've been playing around with ABC bytecode and was hoping someone could clear up a point of confusion for me. I have a simple flash file that places a clip on the stage and has a tiny script to update its position on each frame. The code looks something like:
[Code]....
My question is how does the 'getlex' operation work (I've marked it with ###1). It is passed a multiname which references the 'moveit' method of the class. Unfortunately, the 'name' field in method info seems never ever to get used by the compiler. All methods have the empty string as its name (Shown above as the unnamed function at ###2).
How does the flash player link the multiname to the unnamed method? There appears to be no provision for this in the AVM2 spec. I know it's possible because commercial decompilers like sothink manage to determine the method name. I'm just not sure how they do it, or how the code could ever work.
IDE :: Debug Mode No Longer Providing Debug Info?
Dec 21, 2009When I first downloaded Flash CS3 Professional, I was able to enter an exceedingly useful debug mode by compiling using ctrl+shift+enter instead of ctrl+enter. I could toggle break points, step in, step over and view values stored in variables at a whim.
I must have accidentally toggled some option somewhere, because this interface no longer shows up. Instead, the only extra interface I get is the output menu with the following text "Attemping to launch and connect to Player using URL <file path> [SWF] <file path> - 71984 bytes after decompression" and while the swf does halt if the as3 code reaches a break point, it doesn't tell me which break point nor give me any options to progress the flow (not even through the pull down menu I have to utilize in order to end the so called debug session).
Flash :: Saving Bytecode Of A Class (to SharedObject Or Database)
Mar 11, 2011NOTE: I want to save the actual bytecode for the AS3 class, NOT an instance of it! A class is being loaded in externally and extracted via a URLLoader and then Loader.loadBytes. A single Class is then extracted out of that Application Domain and used in the project. Now, rather than saving the entire Loader (either via SharedObject or other means of storage) is it possible to "extract out" the bytecode of the needed class and all dependencies, which can then be "injected" back into an empty shell or something to be reused when needed?
View 2 RepliesFlash :: Debug An Inner Swf That's Loaded From A Non-debug Outer Swf?
Apr 4, 2009I have a swf that I need to attach the flex builder debugger to. I have full access to the source code, and can make a debug build of this swf.
However, this swf is being loaded by a non-debug build of another swf which I don't have source code to, and can't make a debug build with.
I've tried mocking this up with two very simple swfs, and while it works fine when both are debug builds, when the outer swf is a non-debug build, while I can get the debugger to connect, I don't get trace messages, breakpoints don't work, and it seems to lock up the flash app.

Eclipse :: Eclipse - Compiling A Debug Version Without Opening The Debug Perspective?
Dec 27, 2011I've migrated to FDT from flashdevelop and kind of have a hard time getting things to work the way I'm used to. In Flashdevelop, you could easily choose if the compiled swf was a release or debug version. In FDT however, it seems like there is no way to compile a version that has debugging information without it automatically opening up the debug perspective with a ton of debug windows, a profiler and actually entering debug mode.
As an extra plus, I keep getting a message saying "This feature is only available in FDT Max", although from what I know the debugger is included in the free version. Is there a way to do what I'm trying to do or should I just get used to this new way of working?

IDE :: Oval / Rectangle Tool And Oval / Rectangle Primitive Tool
Nov 14, 2010I do know how to use the oval / rectangle and oval / rectangle primitive tools in the tool bar and find them quite useful, but one thing I find confusing is. A oval / rectangle primitive object can be edited later but the oval / rectangle can't. So the point is,how do we use them properly ? when to use ? Why does Adobe Flash still keep the oval / rectangle tool in their product instead of removing them with the oval / rectangle primitive tool ?

Mar 14, 2009I am using CS4 and adding scipt to the Actions Frame for a 3rd party component using AS3.The swf is being used by an ASP.NET page.I'm trying to get Remote Debugging running - I had it running yesterday, but something changed and I don't know what. So, now none of the breakpoints are being recognized.
-I create the swf file with debugging enabled.
-I start the CS4 Remote Debugging.
-I start my ASP.NET app in Debug Mode from VS2008.
-I get the Adobe dialog allowing me to connect to the debugger. (Before the problems occurred, CS4 debug recognized the flash player automatically.)
-The CS4 debugger recognizes that the player is running since the output frame updates with "[SWF] /Flashloaded/Flashloaded.swf -56913 bytes after decompression"
- But, NONE OF THE BREAKPOINTS ARE BEING RECOGNIZE!!! And no Variables show up in the Variables Frame.
- YES - I am using a debug version of the flash player. I have tried both version 9 & 10.
- Nothing is being entered in my flashlog.txt file.
