I have been asked to add just some more text in the last "slide" of a Flash movie. I don't have access to the .fla files. What are my options (apart from using decompilers)?

I have been given the task of updating my company's website, which is written in ASP and has a menu in Flash. I am not experienced in neither technology so maybe you can help me a little bit.We have a menu in flash and just received a new one from an artist. They are pretty similar but the new one brings some new buttons. So far what I did was simply change the .fla and .swf files from my web project to the new ones. The new menu is working, but the buttons and links are messed up. For example, our website main page is called Default.aspx. In the old menu, when you clicked in 'Home' it would take you to Default.aspx. In the new one though, it tries to take you to 'index.aspx', which doesn't exist. This makes me think that the mapping of the links in the menu is something that is part of the Flash code. Am I right about this?
Now, if I am right and I need to modify the flash files to create the correct links, how the heck do I do that? Notepad++ doesn't read the .fla well. What is the best free tool that will allow me to modify a file and compile it into a .swf? I know Adobe Flash would work, but we don't want to pay anything.
Is there any way to protect our code from flash decompilers like Sothink etc.
View 1 RepliesI downloaded the Sothink SWF Decompiler, which allows you to open and view the structure of a .swf file. (the unregistered version limits the amount of actionscript you can view). It even can resave as a .fla file. Does it concern anyone that when you host your Flash code and applictions, it is basically open sourced, whether you want it to be or not?

protect all SWFs that you have developped and invest hours against decompiler by encrypt it? If yes what it's a best way to encrypt swf files?
View 9 RepliesI know there are softwares which can protect the swf files from decompilers; where the actionscript appears to be gibberish once decompiled. My question is is there any way i can make sure the swf catcher cant find the swf file to download?
View 2 RepliesI have a question that I think somone with a high level of actionscripting abilities would be able to answer. I have for a long time looked for something that e move movieclips in a 3d spacial environment. I found it, and it is really well written (class structure), but I have one problem. I have a hard time to decompile it and use to my advantage.What I want to do is build a portfolio website (for example) with theof this source. Instead of each "bulls eye", I'd have a picture or some "customized" movie clip.
So how would I be able to change each of those bulls eyes to individual movieclips? and still keep the 3d spacial effect going. Also, when I am modifying anything in the file, flash is giving me a output problem where it is telling me that i can't find the classes.Yes, I am saving it in the right directory etccould point me in the right direction for this one. I downloaded the source files from here
Is it possible for action script to import audio files into the flash movie while the movie is playing. (Instead of manually importing a file from within the flash application) Or some way to load an audio file located at a remote url, that is not preloaded, and play it.I've searched through the action script reference guide, but have found nothing to do the job.

one more question is "where i need to store all these movie files. either in samefolder where the flash file is placed. or make it as a seperate folder and or in the flash file library". and one more thing is "how can i place these 20 files in a order like declaring the dimensions on the screen. do i need to put in a CSS.
I would like to protect my flash files. I would like to block any decompilers,protect actionscript and also protect graphics. Some time ago,I tried to decompile a swf and when I placed it inside a decompiler , it showed me a login form and no graphics.I believe that is the ultimate protection method.Do you have any idea what software can do that ?
View 2 RepliesI have a tweened movie which plays on a loop. A click on the image area stops the movie and the image fades nicely from alpha 100 to alpha 0. A second click brings the image back immediately to alpha 100 and the clip continues. I would like the movie image to fade back in from alpha0 to alpha 100 before it re-starts; (the reverse of the fade out). At the moment the re-appearence of the image is a crude jump. So far my ill informed tinkering has not worked.

I'll start off by saying that I'm new to Flash. I'm using the CS5 Web Premium suite and want to publish an updated version of a Flash movie that contains PhotoShop files which I've recently modified. Unfortunately, when I open the .FLA file in Flash Professional CS5, it's not apparent to me how to do this. I don't see the PhotoShop files anywhere in the Library pane and thus can't figure out a way to update the Flash movie to recognize my newly modified .PSD files.

I have created many flash video over the years so I definitely know how to embed an flv into flash. Also, it is very hard to screw up the import video wizard in flash so I have eliminated that as a potential problem. I haven't created a movie in quite a few months and yesterday I tried to create one. I used the wizard in flash to import the working flv and when i hit ctrl+enter to preview, a blank white screen showed up. When I right clicked, it said movie not loaded. So I tried to use AS3 and netconnection to embed the movie. When I previewed it, the same thing happened. I then went to view one of my existing swf's that did not have a video and that did not work either. I searched and found the adobe flash player security preferences and changed settings and NOW I can view swf's that do not have video. I can ALSO view old swf's that have video embedded BUT as soon as I open the original fla file and press ctrl+enter to preview, the swf's DO NOT preview anymore

I have 8 flash movies, each with 3 scenes within each one.What is the most effective way (by which I mean, takes the least amount of time to implement and produces a file without each and every object used in the library) to combine these 24 scenes into a single flash file so that they play consecutively and can be exported as a single SWF?EDIT: I know there is a method whereby you select all frames in each scene and convert these frames to a movie clip, however the main document then inherits all the objects from each MC in its library- this seems a cluttered approach. Is there a better way?

I'm trying to modify my bitmap to change their pixels to a random color. This is the way I do it (I'm using the FlashPunk library):
private var _v:Point = new Point;
private var _speed:Point = new Point(200, 200);
private var _bmpData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(24, 24, false, 0x000000)
private var _bmpImage:Image = new Image(_bmpData);
public function Player(p:Point) {
[Code] .....
So ok, the function that does this is render(), but in the line
graphic = new Image(_bmpData);
I get new memory for graphic, and this translate into a memory leak in the game. Here is an image of this:
And as you can see, the MEM: part is constantly increasing.
