∟SWF Disassembler in Flex SDK

This section describes the SWF disassembler, swfdump, provided in Adobe Flex SDK package.

Another nice tool provided in Flex SDK is the SWF disassembler located at \local\Flex\bin\swfdump.

Command line syntax can be obtained as:

C:\herong>\local\flex\bin\swfdump

Usage: java tools.SwfxPrinter [-encode] [-asm] [-abc] [-showbytecode]
   [-noactions] [-showdebugsource] [-showoffset] [-noglyphs] 
   [-external] [-save file.swf] [-nofunctions] [-out file.swfx] 
   file1.swf ...

Notes on some command link options:

"-asm" specifies that the assemble code should be printed out.
"-abc" specifies that the ActionScript Byte Code (ABC) should be printed out.

If you have installed both SWFTools and Flex SDK, now you have two versions of the same command, "swfdump":

\local\swftools\swfdump - The SWF file dumper tool from the SWFTools package.
\local\flex\bin\swfdump - The SWF file disassembler tool from the Flex SDK package.
