Dear all
I found another solution that doesn't invlove patching... May be useful for
anyone )like me) who can't even find the intsall folder, let alone run the risk
of changing anything in it !)
Using swfdump, I get a list of all the data concerning the swf, then search
for the moment any clips are put (PLACEOBJECT) and can then get the name string
In my example I am just looking for clips with a specific name string, but
you could extract all clips with names this way.
Hoping this helps someone somewhere.
BTW Matthias, it is a BIG compliment to SWFTools that in less than a day I am
already extracting the clips I want, resizing, moving and then rebuilding the
SWF.
Amazing tool
Best

$idAr = array();
$data=array();
$command = "swfdump example.swf";
$return_var=0;
$s=exec($command,$data,$return_var);
for ($i = 0 ; $i < sizeof($data); $i++ ) {
//IF PLACEOBJECT and is a clip we need
if (strrpos($data[$i] , "PLACEOBJECT") && strrpos($data[$i] ,
"contentClip")) {
array_push($idAr,(int)substr($data[$i], strrpos($data[$i] ,
"places id")+10, 4));
}
}
//idAr now contains the ID of the clips we need, in the order we need
(assuming swfdump always dumps them in index order !
// print_r ($idAr);
//extract all
$output = array();
for ($i = 0 ; $i < sizeof($idAr); $i++ ) {
$command = "swfextract -i " . $idAr[$i] ." adExample.swf -o clip".
$i .".swf;";
$return_var=0;
$s = exec($command, $output, $return_var);
}

Hi David
Thanks for the reply...
The part I need to change is the references to
'swftools-2009-08-24-2042-orig'
Can't figure out what to change it to... swftools seems to be in
/usr/local/bin
But I see no src directory...
Any pointers ?
Thanks

Hi Jason,
I haven't had reason to use swftools since I made this patch, but from
looking at the swftools changelog, it doesn't look like it has been added yet.
You should be able to download the patch and do "patch -p0 <
swftools-swfassets.patch", though it may need a few tweaks since I did the
patch against SVN version 2042.
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg04556/swftools-swfassets.patch
Anything further, I suggest asking on the mailing list because I only
used swftools briefly.
Regards,
David

Hi David
This patch looks like just the thing I need...
I was wondering if this has been added. And if so, how to access the
asset instance name in the current version of SWFTools ?
If not, I need to install the patch... am on Unix. Any hints ?
Thanks
Jason

David, thanks for the patch. Sorry for the late follow-up, I haven't had a
chance to peek into this list for a while.
I'll add something like this to one of the next versions- albeit
probably as an extension to
swfextract file.swf
which displays information about which items are extractable.
