One more thing I noticed, that i loaded in a clip and it can’t seem to go to go back again to the second frame of a 2 frame movieclip. I am using your code to work with pdfToSWF… When there are only two frames, i can go forward the first time, just not back, however, 3 frames seem to work fine. haven’t tested others amounts yet.

Also, the loaded clip’s height is 3000000 pixels wide and tall… some weirdness there.

Thanks for your time

Thanks, i made a couple changes to your script to handle a byteArray

private function completeHandler(event:Event):void
{
loadBytes();
}

public function loadBytes(bytes:ByteArray=null):void
{
var inputBytes:ByteArray;
if (!bytes)
{
inputBytes = new ByteArray();
_stream.readBytes(inputBytes);
_stream.close();

} else
{
inputBytes = bytes;
}

w00t!

meh, the comment system seems to strip out html entities. Maybe this version works:

if (version < 9) {
updateVersion(inputBytes, 9);
}
if (version > 7) {
flagSWF9Bit(inputBytes);
}
else {
insertFileAttributesTag(inputBytes);
}

Hi Yoshihiro,

thanks for this very useful class!
In using it, I’ve found a small/ missing feature: SWF files with version 9 but AVM1 script tag won’t be converted to AVM2. To fix this, I’ve modified the lines starting at 97 to the following:

if (version 7) {
flagSWF9Bit(inputBytes);
}
else {
insertFileAttributesTag(inputBytes);
}

cheers and thanks,
till
