Umm... could you please make screeshot or tell us where you can edit the metadata in the Flash CC or Animate CC or what you use as editor? I see "isLegit=true" variable in the FLA file (it is zipped XML), is it correct?

There is no interface to edit the per instance metadata. You need jsfl.

In the FLA file, on the first frame, there's this section: <persistentData> <PD n="PUB_PRST_DATA_EMBED_SWF_isLegit" t="i" v="1"/> <PD n="PUB_PRST_DATAEMBED_SWFisLegit" t="i" v="1"/> <PD n="isLegit" v="true"/> </persistentData> I am wondering why there are two "EMBED_SWF" rows, one with underscores, second without? Do you have any idea how these were generated?

Might be jsfl development artifacts. I have no better explanation.

Hi, please try nightly build 1483, it should be there now :-). The metadata can also be edited in the decompiler itself - just go to the PlaceObject4 and hit Edit button. Also commandline arguments to get/set/remove metadata were added, see help in: java -jar ffdec.jar --help Some examples: java -jar ffdec.jar -removeInstanceMetadata -instance prot_mc metadata.swf java -jar ffdec.jar -setInstanceMetadata -instance prot_mc -key mytest -value 1234 metadata.swf java -jar ffdec.jar -setInstanceMetadata -instance prot_mc -key mytest2 -value \"hello\" metadata.swf java -jar ffdec.jar -removeInstanceMetadata -instance prot_mc -key mytest2 metadata.swf java -jar ffdec.jar -getInstanceMetadata -instance prot_mc -key mytest metadata.swf Note: String values need to be enclosed in quotes
