SWF decompilers

[snapple]

Hello,

Thank you very much for any help or advice anyone has, it is very much appreciated.

I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of the 'ins-and-outs' of swf decompilers, what langauge are they written in? As an overview, how do they work?

Or any other related information.

Best regards, snapple

Well, I've never tried to make one, but I'm sure that all that decompilers starting with this: http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/open/licensing/fileformat/license2.html
It's a description of the flash file format. I guess you can use any language to process this format - it just must can read/write files. So it looks like that AS isn't a solution :D

Thanks very much Curly Brace that's waht i was after. I have not read much of it yet and i only have a couple of days to work out whether i can build a decompiler - lots reading.

Apologies for the late reply, your response is appreciated.

Best regards, snapple
