> What steps will reproduce the problem?
I access a frame inside a SWF script. It decompiles when I edit it. I edit one word then
change back to
the same word. Now when I run the swf, it deviates from the original.
> What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect no change when run. I get a deviation instead.
> What version of the product are you using? Is it "nightly build"? Which operating
system
do you have?
version 26.2.1. Windows 10 home edition.

Random.swf a bridge playing app. Editing to improve the playing algorithm.
Opening with JPEXS Free Flash Decompiler v.26.2.1, an excellent app!
Expand Scripts
Expand DefineSprite (child:135)
Select frame 1 (name:"normal")-DoAction
>Edit ActionScript (decompiles)
change something and then change it back
>Save (compiles)
>Run
The swf runs differently... Extreme thanks if this script can be edited and swf to run
with improvement!
Random.swf (246 KiB)
Can you explain how the "swf runs differently"?
What's the difference (deviance)?
I tried to edit the script and SWF run pretty normal or I just did not try every game
options.
Hi
I open Random.swf in JPEXS Free Flash Decompiler v.26.2.1
(View Resourses setting) I go to scripts
I expand DefineSprite (child: 135)
I click on frame 1 (name:"normal") - DoAction
There is brief "Decompiling" line followed by the script being shown in the
EditActionScript window
I make an edit in the EditActionScript, then changing it back to as before, and Save
A message "Code successfully saved" is shown and the "Decompiling" line is briefly shown
in the window
(It is only when opening this (child: 135) sprite that I get the decompiling line shown)
I click Save and again get the decompiling line
I exit the Decompiler
I now run the swf
The swf opens and displays normally but then sequences through several frames and does not
allow bidding.
Thank you for looking at this. I have successfully used the Decompiler to change many
aspects of the swf with pleasing results and I am most appreciative of that. A great
learning curve.
Random-edited.swf (245 KiB)Hi,
which version of Flash Player do you use?
I tried FP32 and also Ruffle and the game seemed fine - I did not see many changes between
Random.swf and Random-edited.swf,
but I don't know the exact rules of bridge,
what do you mean by "bidding"?
Does it mean clicking something in the table in upper right corner?
I am attaching video of running "Random-edited.swf".
Could you maybe also make a video of what do you mean?
Or maybe write down the steps you make in game to reproduce problem?
(What is expected and what you see instead)
Thank you for patience, it is still not clear to me.
2731_play.mkv (1,053 KiB)I have tried now in Flash Player 6
and it really does not work here - seqences frames and does not allow clicking the table
to bid.
Please try FFDec nightly 3536 and try the editing again from start,
it should work now.
