In the vista/7 era, microsoft made a stripped down version of flash/swf files called "fluster" for their private (now-discontinued) DirectUI framework. FTR files can be found on shell32.dll files on Resource Hacker and other resource related tools, and also on shellstyle.dll in Vista, and the mention of their name can be seen in a GitHub repository with reverse engineered code of the framework in a element used for playing the files. https://github.com/world-windows-federation/dui70/blob/main/DirectUI/Control/Movie.h They are used for the vector animation in the Copy dialog and the animation in the sidebar in Windows Vista (and 7 but only the copy dialog) There has been some efforts in "reverse engineering" it but none got far, the only reverse engineering done was comparing FTR and SWF files together. And custom FTR files have been achieved but only via private microsoft tools and only for a mod for Windows Vista. https://www.deviantart.com/longhornfusion/art/Longhorn-M7-R1-Beta-II-85494394 Anyways, thats all i have to say.
Could you attach sample FTR files? Or maybe that shell32.dll from vista/7 era? I don't have vista/7 at my place right now to test it.
Okay, I found one at AzDll webpage, will investigate it...
Hmm, it doesn't look like anything I've seen before. It does not seem to contain SWF tag structures. For me to do something with it, I'll need some tool that can generate such files. Those "private microsoft tools" are private, right? Or is it available somewhere? Otherwise, I don't give it much chances...
Yeah, and i contacted the person who made the mod and he dont have it, i tried looking but i couldnt find it obviously.
