Re: [Swftools-common] use output of swfdump to create a new swf?

[michael geary]

Hi Matthias,

yes. In my particular case, i'm talking about working around the 
apparent bug I've encountered with the python SWF module, which updates 
DEFINESHAPEs to DEFINESHAPE3s and somehow breaks my swfs.

My thoughts were to dump the before and after files, find and fix the 
differences, and then re-produce the "after" files with the fix. Does 
flasm do this well? I'll check it out... I ended up getting around my 
problem by using swfexport to export each frame of my swf, and then 
swfcombine to re-assemble them. Somehow it fixed the problem.

Anyway, you are correct that the value of a dump->modify->assemble tool 
would be really great.

Thanks,

michael
