Is it Flex?
Ok, have you ever had the burning question when you see a Flash application on a webpage-- "Was it made with Flex?" James Ward, a Flex and Air evangelist from Adobe has a little page located at http://www.jamesward.com/is_it_flex/ that lets you specify a URL to a SWF. It uses swfdump to parse the SWF files and tell you if it was created with Flex. Well, I created a piggy-back page located at http://www.bradwood.com/is_it_flex/ which lets you type in a page, it downloads the source, parses through it for SWF files, and then runs them one at a time through James Ward's page (with his permission of course) I rewrote it last night (read: introduced some bugs) and thought I would throw it out there for people to mess with. If you have any questions you can hit me off-list at brad at bradwood.com since this is a little OT.

Re: Is it Flex?
Very useful, thanks. The weird thing is, its running the swf, too? I ran pandora.com through it, because I've always wondered about that. Then some music started playing, even though I couldn't see any player. When I closed your site, the music stopped. ??? -Ryan Brad Wood wrote: > Ok, have you ever had the burning question when you see a Flash > application on a webpage-- "Was it made with Flex?" > > James Ward, a Flex and Air evangelist from Adobe has a little page > located at http://www.jamesward.com/is_it_flex/ that lets you specify a > URL to a SWF.

He just has it programmed to play background music while you wait for your results. ;) Thanks, Eric Ryan Stille wrote: > Very useful, thanks. > > The weird thing is, its running the swf, too?

RE: Is it Flex?
Yeah, I actually have to load the page into a hidden iframe to parse its HTML. The problem is that the majority of SWF files are written into the DOM after the page loads with JavaScript which means if I just cfhttp the page and parse it in CF I won't find most of the SWFs. My new version dumps it in an iframe and waits 5 seconds for your browser to finish loading it. Then it snags the rendered HTML and parses it with some JavaScript regex. Unfortunately that means complicated pages with JavaScript errors or frame break-out code kind of screw with it. :) ~Brad -Original Message- From: Ryan Stille [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 06, 2008 1:11 PM To: cf-talk@houseoffusion.com Cc: Brad Wood Subject: Re: Is it Flex?
