JPEXS Free Flash Decompiler Issue Tracker

IMO such an information (empty non-keyframes at the end) is lost in the published SWF and a decompiler cannot derive it from there. BTW if you attach the recompiled flash (export fla with ffdec, open it and publish swf with flash cs), we can compare it to the original. I think the frame structure would be identical, but who knows...

"Sync the timeline pos"? What does that mean? How does that work? I can make all layers the same frame count as the longest layer, but I still don't see a point.

Sorry for late answer and the ugly explaination haha, here a better one: Imagine we have 2 MovieClip (Let's call them A and B), both have, for example, 10 frames, in each frame of both Movieclips there are some graphics, now some actionscript code controls which frame displays, this code syncs their time lines, if MovieClip A is displaying the frame number 7, the MovieClip B displays the frame 7 too, works like an array sync: MC_A[i] == MC_B[i] Now, the MovieClip B has the last 3 frames empty (or keyframes) because when MovieClip A is in those frames, MovieClip B has to show nothing (if you don't leave empty frames, the movieclip always shows the last frame if we do MC_A[i] == MC_B[i]). I am sorry if the explaination is not good, but if you need more information, I am more than available to explain more.

I forgot to add that if the MC_B has 6 frames only and the MC_A has 10, when doing "MC_A[i] == MC_B[i]", MC_B is gonna show the frame number 6, displaying graphics that are not supposed to be shown, that's why some people adds empty frames.

I made a quick demo to show what I mean: Example.fla -> Original Fla Example.swf -> Original SWF generated from original .fla Example_but_decompiled -> Pretty obvious hahaha Please observe the timelines of the colorful squares, as I said, i dont think is a bug, but maybe an option to enable leaving those frames ... maybe? Thanks

I forgot to add again some info: The examples are interactive!

What if you make the last frame a keyframe and remove all items that don't need to show from the stage on that frame? I know it can be a bother, I'm just suggesting. Also I'd still like to see a recompiled .swf, not decompiled .fla. FFDec can't open/import .fla files, so I can't make a comparison.

Grubsic: You are right, this needs to be fixed. These two cases are different for sprites, I'll take a look...

This is fixed in nightly 2472.

yes, works like a charm!, but I would like to report another bug with this exact same version (nightly 2472), I hope there's no problem reporting here in the same issue: Some are not opened, they crash directly when attempting to read, for example, this classic game that i used to spend hours when I was a kiddo. I left the stack trace, and some pictures of the error panel.

> hope there's no problem reporting here in the same issue Yes it is a problem. Please report only one problem per issue. If you encounter a different problem in different file, then create new issue. Otherwise we can easily get lost in the issues. To your Game.swf file: The file is obfuscated and you have "automatic deobfuscation" turned off, but "auto rename identifiers" turned on. For this file to work correctly "automatic deobfuscation" needs to be turned on. I also recommend "auto rename identifiers" turned off as there might be problems with file saving. On this specific file I also recommend to turn on "Remove single assigned obfuscated declarations" - see attached screenshot. I also fixed FFDec to load properly on this kinds of configuration (nightly 2473), but it still produces errors to the log since you do not have deobfuscation enabled on obfuscated file.

I understand! I will delete previous JPEXS configs to avoid making things load not properly

And and I am sorry for using one issue for two, :P, not happening again, if something else happens, I will create a new issue. Thanks!
