Would it be possible to have a setting where you can have ActionScript 2 functions be saved as DefineFunction all the time instead of DefineFunction2? I want this so that upon saving my ActionScript, variables don't become local register variables.

In FFDec nightly 3536, DefineFunction is used instead of DefineFunction2 for SWFs version 6 or lower. Also, for SWFs 7 onwards, DefineFunction2 is used and also it retains variable names inside it and if the variable name is named like register (like _loc2_), then it tries to use register instead of variable.
