extracting SWF gives compiler errors in adobe flash CS4
- by Andy
Hey,
I have been given an SWF to edit a link in the AS code.
The fact is the SWF uses some XML that is generated (actually retrieved) by PHP code from a database.
menuXML.load("/sub/page/dynamic.php?genre=" + genre);
so the point is we can use the same SWF 'mainfraim' and fill them with different animations/sources based on the link provided in dynamic.php?genre=###
Now, I've used Flash Decompiler Gold to extract all files in the SWF and can open it again in Adobe Flash to edit it. When done I enter CTRL+ENTER and there are immediately 4 compiler errors!! Errors:
1x < Unexpected 'if' encountered
2x < Statement block must be terminated by '}'
1x < Ecpected a field name after '.' operator.
How can these errors be present, when the original SWF works perfectly??!
If I don't manage to solve this, I'll have to find out how to create an .php file the SWF tries to use which can select the proper resources (from a database I guess) to show them (using ?genre=###)
Thanks!
