Re: [Swftools-common] (patch supplied) New utility swfassets

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

Jason

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.

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.
