AS3 bytecode editor

about 2 years ago malczak actionscript, swfutils comments

Recently, I have been preparing to my speech at Flash Camp, where I will talk a bit about bits and bytes. As an example I have created bytecode editor for AS3. Why ? Because, I came out with an idea, to tell something about hidden opcodes, that had been added as a part of player support for Adobe Alchemy project. I will write more information about this in my next post. This time, I would like to share with my byte code editor application. I have used it to inject those, previously mentioned, opcodes to compiled swf. Thank to this, I was able to check (if any) speed boost. This application is mainly further extension to my as3 decompilation library. Although it is in quite early stage of development, it is already able to decompile any swf, change bytecode of any method and save it as a new swf file. Take a look at attached screenshot for short explanation. Download is not yet available, since I have to fix some bugs. Installer as well as source code, will soon be published.

Great news! Many people will need this tool.
Can I edit tags of swf with this editor?
If so, it can become a open source flash IDE alternative!

Sounds really interesting.

I'd really like to know when we can get a copy to start having a play with.

If you have a mailing list can you add me to it.

This looks very awesome! Looking to get started on Alchemy development as well.

As Metalhead mentionned, it would be nice to have a Windows version available as well.

The screenshot looks like it's been developed so far for Mac (noticed by the title-bar in the screenshot), but the interface looks quite like Flex. I'm guessing you're going to make it cross-platform compatible? :D

Hi,
I'm also looking for the swfutils library.

Now I'm decompiled the example of the swfutils, It's lot of useful code in there, but I encounter some problems.
