Ever fucked a flash movie...

heh... well you can, so to speak...


This post covers the basics of breaking down flash movies, connecting to the SWF's sever, and editing variables.

First, get a SWF decompiler, a demo of sothink for you windows users should work.

Second, decompile and edit the taget swf.

Third, recompile the modified version, and begin.


Step ONE:
Get a decompiler (demo at www.sothink.com), once you've installed your SWF decompiler, you're ready for the next step.

Step TWO:
Open the target swf in your decompiler (search the cache), and look for the server URLs and change them to complete urls...
Example: sendAndLoad("./penguin.php", MyVar) should be
sendAndLoad("www.thedomain.com/penguin.php", MyVar);
Aslo, if the SWF happens to be a game, you'll want to look for variables in the
code like "score" or "points", change these to equal whatever you'd like.

Step THREE:
Copy your saved code to a flash compiler (FlashMX, KoolMoves), compile it,
connect to the internet, and run your swf, with your new variables.

NOTE: some sites have found a way to prevent this, but I've found that as of
12/02/2004 most sites don't worry about it.


Good luck, and happy hacking.
