Hello.

Idk if you guys have heard of a game called "Super Mario Flash".

here is the download link
http://cid-17403f423fa9c8e2.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Public/Super%20Mario%20Flash/Super%20Mario%20Flash.exe

here is the actual game
http://supermarioflash5.webs.com/

Well the thing is, im a Mario fan, and i find this game fun since you can easily make levels.

However, it is really out of date. So i tried to make changes to it. Now i know its hard to do. I used Adobe Flash CS3 and i couldn't make heads or tails of it. I really don't know where to start.

Can someone help me out here? Tell me what ActionScript was used to make this.

I believe that when i opened it using CS3, it was weird because the ActionScript was different or something. Thats what was suggested to me by a friend

You can get the code and the contents of an swf by using any Flash Decompiling software. If you Google "Flash Decompiler" you will get a range. I use Trillix, but only because they have good customer support.

By the way, a friend of mine has super mario shoes / trainers in a pixelated style

Also, Decompiling only gets you half way there as it reverse engineers how Flash sees the .swf and the code / structure can take longer to desypher than making the original Flash program
