Hi, I know Flash is no good ;-) but a friend has a Flash site that needs only a bit of updating. Original FLA file lost (is 7 years old site) so downloaded the SWF file. Downloaded a trial version of Adobe Flash and SWF decompiler.
The decompiled SWF opens in Flash I can edit it etc. No problem. But when I publish, Flash can only publish as a movie, so the file just plays the whole site in like 4 seconds.... No time to push any buttons...
Is this because the decompiler is in demo mode? And does not pick up certain cues in the SWF file? Or is Flash just to make videos?
How is it possible that Flash cannot simply open an SWF file? Why do I need a separate decompiler?
Probably stupid questions. I normally use RapidWeaver. But was hoping I can help my friend with the updating of some details in the site.
Thanks for any help!
