I have played around with some action script and the new flash player 8. There seems to be a lot of new functionality inside, filters, bitmaps, etc.
If you also wanna play around you need a Hex-Editor, Flash MX 2004 and Flash Player 8 installed.
Insert the following Action Script into the first frame of a new movie. Create a new dynamic textfield with the instancename “textF”.
[as]
function returnObjs(obj) {
for(var i:String in obj) {
if(typeof(obj[i]) == “object” || typeof(obj[i]) == “function”){
_root.textF.text += ”
objroot name: ” + i + “, value: ” + obj[i] + ”
“;
returnObjs(obj[i]);
} _root.textF.text += “name: ” + i + “, value: ” + obj[i] + ”
“;
}
}
returnObjs(flash);
[/as]
Export the flash movie and open the generated “.swf” with the Hex-Editor. Now you have to change the value of Byte number three. It will maybe look like this.
13 57 53 07 CF 01 00 00
By this exmaple Byte number three has the value “07″. This value you have to change to “08″.
Save the file and open it with flash player 8. Now in the textfield there are the names and the values of the new functions, try to play around with it.
